Safer internet day 2026

Safer Internet Day promotes a safer and more responsible use of online technology by children and young people around the world. Over the years, Safer Internet Day has become a landmark event in the online safety calendar. This Commission’s initiative started in 2004 under the first safer internet action plan, as an initiative of the EU-funded SafeBorders project. It was then taken up by Insafe, the network of Safer Internet Centres. Now, Safer Internet Day has grown beyond its traditional geographic zone and is celebrated in around 190 countries and territories across all continents, reaching millions of people worldwide.

The 23rd edition of the Safer internet day will be marked by several initiatives all around Europe. On Tuesday 10 and for the whole month of February, Safer Internet Centres across Europe and beyond are hosting events, conferences, and activities in schools, cinemas, and online to highlight the importance of safe online experiences.
