Promoted in Ireland by the PDST Technology in Education and Webwise, the whole point of SID is to raise awareness of how we all can help create a better internet.

This year Webwise is offering free anti-bullying wristbands and badges for any school who shares their plans for celebrating SID. The theme for the 2015 event is “Let’s create a better internet together” and the hashtags #Up2Us and #SID2015 will be used to help raise awareness online.

The Safer Internet Day website has a list of events and suggested classroom-based activities for marking SID. If you’re interested in focusing celebrations around the topic of cyber bullying Watch Your Space has ideas on how to promote a more inclusive online environment. From interactive poster campaigns to RASK (Random Acts of Kindness) Days, this site highlights examples of best practice from schools around Ireland.
