Safer Internet Day (SID) 2025 takes place this year on Tues 11th February. This is an EU wide initiative to promote a safer internet for all users, especially young people. It is promoted in Ireland by Oide Technology in Education and Webwise. This year’s celebrations are based around the theme “Prepare / Protect / Thrive: Navigating Algorithms and Influencers”. This theme invites parents, schools, educators, young people, and all stakeholders to consider how algorithms and influencers shape young people’s lives. In a world of endless online information, Safer Internet Day will explore ways to empower children to thrive, equipped with skills to navigate both the opportunities and challenges of these powerful online influences.
For Safer Internet Day 2025, Webwise will host a series of FREE webinars to empower parents to support their child as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of the online world. Each session dives into key aspects of the digital world, from safe communication and healthy online play to identifying dis/misinformation and understanding how algorithms and privacy affect daily digital life. Through practical guidance, parents will learn how to foster respectful, responsible, and positive digital habits in their children, ensuring a balanced approach to online safety and digital well-being.
