The initiative

The EU initiative klicksafe aims to promote people's online skills and support them in using the internet competently and critically with a wide range of offers. klicksafe bundles and develops relevant information and offers for safe, competent and self-determined internet use. We are aimed in particular at people who support children and young people in developing their internet skills - from parents to teachers and multipliers - but also at anyone who wants to get fit themselves. This gives users an overview of current online topics and specific tips for everyday digital life.

On our independent information portal www.klicksafe.de, users can find a wealth of up-to-date information, practical tips and helpful materials on digital services and topics. Our fields of action also include the implementation of comprehensive campaigns and the development of concepts for nationwide training measures for teachers and specialists. We also support training courses for children, young people, parents, teachers and specialists on the opportunities and risks of the Internet. In addition, klicksafe networks initiatives and stakeholders in Germany and Europe to promote media literacy on the Internet.

klicksafe is the German Awareness Centre in the Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL) of the European Union and is implemented by the Rhineland-Palatinate Media Authority (coordination) in cooperation with the Federal Agency for Child and Youth Media Protection (BzKJ). Since 2008, klicksafe has been coordinating the Safer Internet Center DE, which includes the internet hotlines of eco, FSM and jugendschutz.net as well as the helpline Nummer gegen Kummer.
