The main event for Safer Internet Day took place on 9 February in Nicosia’s main square where a kiosk was set up. It was open from 11am to 2 pm. Two computers were made available with safer internet games (one created by the Cypriot node and one from the English node) and access to the website for young children on which to play and get tips.

At the same time, parents were given information on the possible dangers of internet use. Materials and t-shirts with Cyber and Ethics, the Cypriot node’s kid characters, were awarded to participants. At the kiosk, a representative of the cyber-crime unit of the police department and the largest internet provider were also on hand to offer advice about filtering software.

This event was co-sponsored by Microsoft.
