2008/02/12 NEW!!
Safer Internet Day has arrived! The fifth annual edition of Safer Internet Day has surpassed all records, with 55 countries taking part across the world from New Zealand to Costa Rica and Taiwan to Greenland. The unprecedented take-up reflects a growing concern from all sectors including government, the civil sector, the public and media on the importance of educating young people to use online technologies safely, effectively and ethically. This year’s theme “Life online is what you make of it” has not only inspired efforts to make the event more memorable than ever, it has resulted in exemplary teamwork across borders hence underlining the global nature of the virtual world. Wide interest in the Safer Internet Day was sparked early in January by the launch of a catchy video clip by the Spanish media company Publibureau. This has already found its way to YouTube via local and national television, projections in cinema foyers and release on internet. Last week marked another high point in the lead-up, when online voting was launched to select the winners of the Safer Internet Day 2008 competition that ran from October to January. 655 teams competed and national finalists received a record 48,000 e-votes. ? This week, hundreds of events are rolling out at the national level, from eSafety workshops organised throughout Germany and a national gaming debate with policy officials in Amsterdam to Safer Internet Day buses travelling the countryside in Spain, Italy and Cyprus. Two major central actions have been launched today in Brussels. At midnight Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for Information Society and Media, opened the Safer Internet Day blogathon. This has now crossed half the world through Australasia and the middle-east and will soon leave Europe on its path to South and North America. A Youth Forum of thirty youths (14-17 year olds) from all corners of Europe will lead the second event, where they will discuss their use of mobile phones and social networking sites and make proposals concerning awareness on internet safety to the European Commission, industry and politicians. This brings us to the high point of the day for the millions of citizens across the world who celebrate Safer Internet Day – the announcement of the winners of the European contest!
