The Safer Internet Centre presented a holistic model for systematic building digital and media literacy and skills at school from first to last grade based on the regular curriculum at the 9th Global Education Conference in Sofia.
On September 9, a national conference was held in Plovdiv with the participation of the Safer Internet Centre, Ministry of Education, Plovdiv city deputy-mayor, 4 youth centers from around the country and young people who participated in a brand new programme for digital and media literacy.
Dozens of schools, institutions and organisations in Bulgaria celebrated the 18th Safer Internet Day on 9 February with various events and initiatives.
In the complicated pandemic situation many schools in Bulgaria faced an additional problem – lack of teachers as dozens of them fell ill or are in quarantine.
On 20th January, the Advisory board of the Bulgarian Safer Internet Centre (SIC) approved by email voting the annual public report about the activities of the SIC in 2020.
An online survey conducted by the Coalition for Media Literacy in Education, co-founded by the Bulgarian Safer Internet Centre and comprising almost 20 organisations, showed that students’ attitudes towards learning vary widely from “I prefer to go to school”, to “Learning online is fast and interesting”.
On 11th February, together with over 150 countries worldwide, Bulgaria celebrated the International Safer Internet Day. Dozens of Bulgarian schools and libraries organised various initiatives and activities with the motto: “Together for a better internet”.
ТDuring the National Safer Internet Day the Bulgarian SIC will start the celebrations by awarding the winners of the annual National Cyberscout Competition held amongst 10-12 year old students by the Centre. Three Cyberscout teams will be present to receive their awards for the first three places in the competition.
