Better Internet with You(th)

The Safer Internet Forum is a key annual international conference in Europe where policy-makers, researchers, law enforcement bodies, youth, parents and carers, teachers, NGOs, industry representatives, experts and other relevant actors come together to discuss the latest trends, risks and solutions related to child online safety. It is organised and funded by the European Commission under the Safer Internet Programme as part of the European Strategy for a Better Internet for Children.

The Safer Internet Programme supports projects and events to help create a safer online environment for children and young people, as well as to promote industry self-regulation and international co-operation. The activities cover awareness raising, fighting illegal content, filtering and content labelling, involving the civil society in child online safety issues and creating a solid database of information related to the use of new technologies by young people. The Safer Internet Forum is an important focus for debate and for involving young people in discussing how they see the internet and new technologies, and how technology influences their lives, now and in the future.

The 2013 edition of the Safer Internet Forum will take place on 17-18 October in Brussels with the theme ‘Better Internet with You(th)’.

At the SIF, youth from all 30 countries of the Insafe network will strive together with the parents, grandparents, teachers, NGOs, researchers, public institutions and industry to make the internet a better place for all.

Discussions and debate will look at some of the issues that are high on the agenda of users, policy makers and industry alike:

What more can we do to make internet a positive place where entrepreneurship and creativity are encouraged?
How do we empower young people with the digital and citizenship skills they will need for a better online world tomorrow?
Can industry really make online technology “safer by design”… and is it trying to do so?
Are policy- and decision-makers listening to young users who are often at the leading edge in the online world?

Please see the draft agenda for further information.
