Tell us your plans for Safer Internet Day: In response to the ever changing landscape of online challenges, Temple Carrig run a peer education module to enable our TY students to deliver Webwise resources in primary schools. For Safer Internet Day 2026, Transition Years have designed a multi activity workshop which they will host for two local primary schools and will deliver four lessons of SID resources within the primary schools. There will be a podcast with follow up interviews, a TY handbook for delivering the content, the creation of a website – https://tinyurl.com/TCGDigitalSafety , a newsletter highlighting the Digital Wellbeing and Safer Internet Day 2026 and a parent talk will be held on February 10th in the evening on the latest harmful AI developments being targeted at children and teens, which will be delivered by campaigner and education specialist working for Cuan, SERP and the Rape Crisis Centre, Eoghan Cleary.

This is a collaborative project between Temple Carrig, St Patricks National School, and Educate Together in Greystones. It is a follow on from last years pilot programme launched around SID 2025
Our Digital Wellbeing Peer Education means that Temple Carrig TY students become the teachers to teach local Greystones primary pupils in St Patricks and Educate Together how to safely and responsibly navigate the first steps into the online environment and Safety Internet Day will be an opportunity to celebrate this ongoing work from SID 2025 to 2026.
