Luxembourgish Safer Internet Centre

About the organisation

The Luxembourgish Safer Internet Centre exists to promote a safer and better use of the internet and mobile technologies among children and young people.

Awareness centre

Description:
The awareness centre coordinates all activities to promote a safer and responsible use of the internet and mobile technologies: delivering training courses, information and animation at public events, providing eSafety awareness resources on its website and as print material.
 
Based on the most significant threats and trends, the BEE SECURE awareness centre strives to develop thematic campaigns for each school year with a wide impact and a long-lasting effect.
 
BEE SECURE campaigns have three objectives: to educate people in a positive way, to create a culture of security and to establish a broader view of information security.
