Safer Internet Day
Tuesday, February 11, 2025

Thank you for joining the movement for a safer and better internet! With a global, community-led approach, Safer Internet Day encourages everyone to come together and play their part in improving the internet.

ConnectSafely is the official U.S. coordinator of this international event, celebrated in more than 100 countries. The global theme of Safer Internet Day 2025 is Together for a Better Internet. Here in the U.S., we’re focusing on six topics, but we have many more resources depending on your local needs.

Main topic areas for 2025:

• Generative AI
• Media literacy and critical thinking
• Civility
• Picking on peers
• Wellness, identity and self-respect
• Scams, predators and creeps

Here are some ideas for your home, school or organization:

Individuals & Families

• Join our free virtual event for families, hosted in partnership with National PTA
• Co-watch “Heros of Zero” with your kids. Heros of Zero is an animated video series designed to teach young children ages 5-8 the life skills they need to navigate an increasingly online world. Heroes of Zero is a project of the First Device campaign, created by Power of Zero in partnership with ConnectSafely

School & youth-serving organizations

• Apply for a grant for educators and community groups!
• Use our resources for students. For each of the six topics, we’ve put together a definition statement to clarify the topic, along with discussion questions suited for elementary, middle and high school students. In addition, there are links to resources such as ConnectSafely lesson plans, guides and quick guides, plus short videos with accompanying discussion questions.
