Every year in 8 february is Safer Internet Day via @Insafe @Insafenetwork #sid2011 #esafety ,, It's more than a game, it's your life! "

Free eSafety resources . Click on the photo . Add your feedback please .

Read more on the Insafe Blog and Insafe Network  about  Safer Internet Day 2011 celebrated every year in 8 february  and don't forget ,, It's more than a game, it's your life! "

To learn more about Safer Internet Day meetings in your region or at the international level this year, stay posted at: www.saferinternetday.org and check out the SID fair www.sidfair.org.
Today the Insafe network, European network of Safer Internet Centres, is celebrating Safer Internet Day for the eighth consecutive year. This is the occasion of the year to join our efforts in making the internet a better place for our children and young people. Since the first edition of SID in 2004, interest has grown tremendously world wide to reach all five continents and more than 70 countries, from Canada to South Korea and Russia to Kenya, including all 27 countries of the European Union.
"Safer Internet Day is the annual highlight for the wide range of people and organisations who work hard to make the internet safer. Today, Safer Internet Centres, educators, parents, industry policy makers and children themselves all have the opportunity to review their achievements and identify challenges ahead" said Neelie Kroes, patron of Safer Internet Day, and European Digital Agenda Commissioner. "For children and young people especially, it is both a celebration of the wonderful opportunities the online world offers, and a reminder that they need to be responsible citizens in the digital world. I am proud to support Safer Internet Day".
Safer Internet Day 2011 celebrates the theme “digital lives” with the slogan "It’s more than a game, it’s your life", encouraging people to think about their online identity and the survival of their real self through the online experience. And because Insafe strongly believes in the power of the voice of youth and makes a point of relaying their ideas and opinions, today we have published videos made by our national Youth Panels. Take a look for yourself to see how young people really feel about these issues.
To discover all the fantastic online and offline activities organised in your country check out our Safer Internet Day fair (www.sidfair.org), a collaborative platform where more than 80 Safer Internet Day committees, international organisations and stakeholders have their profile and communicate about their actions.
Safer Internet Day 2011 will also mark the launch of a brand new publication full of fun activities for 4-8 year-olds. Entitled Play and Learn: Being online and developed by Insafe in collaboration with our SID gold sponsor Liberty Global Inc., this is an indispensable resource for young children as well as for their parents and teachers. As young children are now using computers and surfing on the internet at an increasingly early age, Insafe is once again leading the field by providing a resource that will raise their awareness to the opportunities and risks they may encounter online whilst honing their linguistic, cultural and social skills.
A second SID launch for the Insafe network is the Digipack 2011 which offers teachers and parents Europe-wide an exciting and eagerly-awaited range of educational resources. From handbooks for teachers to videos for parents and children, these 30 high quality resources will be of great use to professionals in the field.
Visit our website www.saferinternet.org and that of your national awareness centre to get tips on how to protect yourself and your privacy online.
