On Safer Internet Day 2023 – on Tuesday, 7 February – we will be millions across the globe, joining forces “Together for a better internet”. This edition is particularly special as it marks the 20th anniversary of the celebrations, and it will be as vibrant and engaging as ever, thanks to the resourcefulness and creativity of the wide network of SID supporters, allowing us all to reflect on how we protect, empower and respect all children and young people when they go online.

For this edition of Safer Internet Day, we will additionally be reflecting on the new European strategy for a better internet for kids (BIK+) adopted in May 2022, which aims to ensure the digital participation, empowerment and protection of young users, and lays the foundations and vision of the internet we want to shape for the future. With the recently adopted Digital Services Act package and the Declaration on European Digital Rights and Principles, we are keen to see how safer, better and empowering online experiences for everyone will develop over the next twenty years.
