Safer Internet Day is an annual event held on February 8th in over 65 countries to promote safe and responsible internet use among children, parents, teachers and others. This year's theme emphasizes that children's online actions can impact their real lives. It aims to make children aware that what they do online, such as using avatars or nicknames, could still affect them offline. The European Commission supports Safer Internet Day as part of its efforts to help families stay safe online.
