Three students from Donegal are among more than 140 students from across Ireland who are taking part in the Webwise Safer Internet Day (SID) Ambassador Training Programme.
The peer-led programme equips students with the knowledge and skills to lead their own online safety awareness-raising campaign in their schools and local communities.
Harry Byrne, Luke Holmes, and Konrad Król from St Columba’s College in Stranorlar attended the in-person training day in Dublin, where they received training and support from the Webwise Youth Advisory Panel. The theme for Safer Internet Day 2024, which takes place on Tuesday, February 6, is “Tech in Our World” which explores young people’s views on new and emerging technology, and the changes they would like to see online.
The Webwise Safer Internet Day Ambassador Training Programme gives students the opportunity to take a leading role in promoting a safer, better internet and tackle issues that are important to them including online bullying, misinformation, wellbeing, privacy and rights online.
Safer Internet Day (SID) is an EU wide initiative to promote a safer internet for all users, especially young people. It is promoted in Ireland by the Oide Technology in Education and Webwise, with almost 200,000 people taking part in last year’s celebrations.
