The project will also continue its efforts to: 

• devise a technology-neutral campaign message, applicable to all new and emerging technologies, and use the most appropriate media to disseminate it,
• perform studies to gather knowledge about children's use of online technologies and the effects they have on their lives,
• develop the helpline where children can raise concerns about internet, mobile phones and other online technologies, support media literacy and promote source criticism,
• share knowledge and actively cooperate within the network of national nodes all over Europe in order to inspire each other and ensure the best use of available resources.

The consortium, the Media Council (RADET) and Children"s Rights in Society (BRIS), will encourage cooperation between a wide range of stakeholders, including industry, educators, municipalities, government bodies and NGOs. 

The project builds on the achievements of the former projects SAFT and ANSWER 1 and 2 and it will continue the development of the extensive safer internet tool-kit, organise seminars for important target groups and expand the network of regional informants and ambassadors. The project will also continue its successful work to involve children and young people themselves as the true experts in this field and it will explore new ways of dissemination in order to reach children and young people more directly.
