Safer Internet Day (SID) is an EU wide initiative to promote a safer internet for all users, especially young people. It is promoted in Ireland by the PDST Technology in Education and Webwise.
The Theme for Safer Internet Day is “Together for a Better Internet“. This year almost 180,000 people in Ireland highlighted Safer Internet Day 2020.

The Safer Internet Day PowerPoint Presentations (available for Primary and Post Primary) aim to provide context to the aim and purpose of Safer Internet Day; an EU wide initiative to promote a safer internet for all users, especially young people. The presentations can be delivered by school leaders or teachers at a whole school assembly. They include some warmer activities that can be used with young people to introduce them to the topic of online safety. Additional optional activities will be available for teachers to adapt this presentation to suit delivery during class time.
The presentations are designed to assist schools in promoting awareness of Safer Internet Day in their school and assist the leadership of their Safer Internet Day Ambassadors in running an effective internet safety awareness raising campaign.
Safer Internet Day can be celebrated year-round so check out our list of resources below! We have lots of fun activities like word-searches, raps, roleplays and more! We also have premade SID presentations in English and in Irish. There are also a host of great videos that you can use to teach young people valuable online safety skills at home, or in the classroom.
We love seeing all your photos from your online safety campaigns and Safer Internet Day activities. Send us in your photos, videos and posters and you could be in with a chance of winning some great prizes. Just email: internetsafety@pdst.ie. Get inspired by some of the great work being done by schools, parents and youth groups on internet safety.
Working with young people is a big part of what we do. Our Safer Internet Day Ambassador Programme is a peer-to-peer youth training programme that gives students an opportunity to lead an online safety campaign in their own school or community. Students can be nominated by teachers or sign up themselves.
Preparations for Safer Internet Day are in full swing here at Webwise Ireland. On the 15th of January, Webwise hosted the Safer Internet Day Ambassador Training Day in Google HQ. Over 100 students from across Ireland gathered together to learn new skills and activities to help them plan and prepare for running their own internet safety awareness raising campaign in their school, clubs or organisations. The aim is to make Safer Internet Day a success in communities and schools across Ireland.
