Swedish Safer Internet Day Activities The Swedish Media Council will celebrate Safer Internet Day on February 10 by inviting high school students, their teachers and other relevant professionals to an afternoon of activities, screenings and lectures at the well-known Stockholm youth centre Fryshuset.

This year’s theme for Safer Internet Day – e-bullying and social networking – is also the focus of the event. The activities organized by the Swedish Media Council include the grand premiere of the official Safer Internet Day video, fun activities for the students in attendance, lectures and a panel discussion. The day also features screenings of digital stories from ‘My life 2.0’, a project launched last year on Safer Internet Day that encourages young people to make short films about their online lives. For those who are not able to join the festivities in Stockholm, there will be an opportunity to chat with safer internet experts on the site of a major Swedish newspaper.

The Swedish Media Council is launching Safer Internet Day 2009 in collaboration with several different organizations, NGOs and representatives from the industry.
