20th edition of Safer Internet Day

This year, in its 20th edition, Safer Internet Day will focus on the theme "Safer Internet: Metaverse vs Reality" with a session held in the Aula Magna of the University of the Azores, in Ponta Delgada, on February 7, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., local time (GMT -1), which will also be streamed live.

With technological advances, the topic of the "Metaverse" is increasingly discussed, raising some doubts and questions. Therefore, this session aims not only to exchange experiences and knowledge, but also to address some answers and evidence about this "new world," the "Metaverse."

In addition to the session, during the afternoon, between 3:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., the educational community will be able to watch the play "ID A tua marca na Net" (Your Mark on the Net), starring actors Alexandre Silva, Pedro Górgia, and Tiago Aldeia. The play will be staged again between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., this time open to the general public, and it will also be possible to watch the play online. All sessions are free of charge.

During the day, there are also "Safe Internet Workshops," and all these activities have a common goal: to raise awareness among students about healthier, safer, and more conscious use of the Internet.

Under the motto "Together for a Better Internet," Safer Internet Day is an annual awareness campaign that brings together stakeholders from the public and private sectors to promote the safe and responsible use of the Internet, particularly among children and young people.

This initiative is carried out and promoted by the Safe Internet Center Consortium, of which FCT is a member, with the consortium being coordinated by the National Cybersecurity Center.
