Safer Internet Day 2017 – theme announced!

8 June 2016

We’re pleased to announce that the theme for Safer Internet Day 2017 is ‘Be the Change: Unite for a better internet’

Coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre, last year’s celebration saw over a thousand organisations get involved to help promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.

Safer Internet Day 2017 offers the opportunity to highlight positive uses of technology and to explore the role we all play in helping to create a better and safer online community. It calls upon young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers, and wider, to join together in helping to create a better internet.

The day will be celebrated globally, coordinated by the joint Insafe/INHOPE network, with over a hundred countries getting involved.
