The Greek Safer Internet Center SaferInternet4Kids.gr: Awareness, Helpline, Hotline

SI4Kids2 aims to continue uninterrupted and enhance the successful operation of the Greek Safer Internet Center SaferInternet4Kids (Greek SIC) offering an Awareness Center, a Helpline and a Hotline. The Greek SIC operates since 2016 providing a dynamic awareness axis that contributes towards a safer digital space where the rights of children and all digital citizens are safeguarded. The Helpline, which operates since 2012, will expand its scope to address issues emerging from the COVID19 pandemic. The SafeLine Hotline, which operates since 2003 as a member of INHOPE, will expand its monitoring and N&T procedures and will explore the possibility to process CSEM reports. The Greek SIC will contribute to the activities of the Insafe/INHOPE networks, and will further expand its stakeholder network aiming to promote national policies. Moreover, it will engage into its activities a dynamic youth panel that will assist to identify emerging trends and to raise awareness among peers. SI4Kids2 will address spherically all objectives of the Call text and the Digital Europe Programme implementing the following three axis thus covering the entire spectrum of internet safety in Greece. The Greek SIC will: - lead the digital transformation through its awareness axis, aiming to support and educate a variety of target groups, primarily children so that they become responsible digital citizens, but also educators of all levels, parents, grandparents, caretakers and all professionals working with children. - expand the national Helpline (www.help-line.gr), which operates a telephone and chat service, and is a point of reference for all queries related to internet safety issues and the use and misuse of digital technology. - augment the activity of SafeLine (www.safeline.gr), the Internet Hotline for illegal internet content which places emphasis and absolute priority to the efficient processing of CSAM reports, and constitutes the most long-lasting action of the Center.
