Safer Internet Forum 2009

The 2009 edition of the Safer Internet Forum took place in Luxembourg on 22 and 23 October and its main theme was "Promoting online safety in schools". The Forum was open for stakeholders from NGOs, governments, researchers, industry representatives, including Internet Service Providers, mobile network operators, social networking sites, software developers.

A broad consultation carried out as part of the European Commission's 2009 Safer Internet Forum brings a clear message: Online Safety needs to be taught in schools from as early an age as possible and as a horizontal subject.
