Safer Internet Day takes place in February of each year to promote safer and more responsible use of the Internet, especially amongst children and young people across the world.

Since its inception, the TRA has been actively participating in this event which has been steadily growing, with an increase in general awareness, stronger involvement of relevant stakeholders in the field of Internet safety and a high level of media interest.

This year’s event will take place on February 5th in various locations in Lebanon. The TRA in collaboration with World Vision, the Higher Council for Child Protection at the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Center for Educational Research and Development at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, Himaya, YMCA and many others, are putting hands together to create safety awareness and responsible use of the Internet. This activity will involve a strong media campaign, the launch of a new school curriculum and a school students’ competition backed by a theatrical play dedicated for online safety.

The TRA will continuously update its website before and during the event to keep Lebanese citizens informed.
