Safer Internet Day for schools

Colaiste Ch Chulainn is one of 700 schools around the country taking part in Safer Internet Day today ( Tuesday). Safer Internet Day 2020 will take place on Tuesday, 11th February, when hundreds of students from across Louth will take part in school-based events.

Safer Internet Day is an EU initiative to promote a safer internet for all users, especially young people. It was first marked in 2004, has grown beyond its traditional geographic zone, and now takes place in approximately 150 countries worldwide.

In Ireland, Safer Internet Day is co-ordinated by Webwise, part of the Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST). It is co-funded by the Department of Education and Skills, and the European Union’s Connecting Europe Facility.

Webwise trained and mobilised 100 youth ambassadors and 40 teachers from second-level schools to lead activities in their own schools and communities, including Colaiste Chu Chulainn.
