However , Safer Internet Day is also celebrated outside Europe . In 2009 , the concept of Safer Internet Day Committees was introduced , to strengthen the bonds with countries outside the network and invest in a harmonised promotion of the campaign across the world . Around 70 global SID Committees now work closely with the Safer Internet Day Coordination Team , which is based at the heart of the European Union in Brussels . If there is not yet a SID Committee in your country , but you would be interested in forming one , please get in touch .

eTwinning website provides a global online community platform where countries and international organisations can showcase events and actions conducted locally , nationally and internationally for Safer Internet Day . Within the resources of eTwinning , you will find a wealth of multilingual resources empowering young people , their teachers and their families to make the best possible use of online technology . It is a space where leaders in the internet safety community can communicate with the public and exchange ideas , knowledge and experience with each other .
eTwinners interested in online security can join the eSafety groups bringing eSafety into eTwinning projects . The group ' s overall goals are to provide teachers with guidance on how to keep students safe online while using digital media in education , particularly in eTwinning projects . It will help teachers to develop their own didactic materials on e-security for use in teaching applications and will allow group members to share relevant information with other teachers and exchange ideas about it .
