Digital Citizenship and Internet Safety: Online Behavior tips and classroom practices
Digital citizenship definition refers to the responsible and ethical use of technology by all citizens. It includes conduct that contributes to a safe, respectful, and productive online environment.
The online world is unlimited and offers various opportunities for learning and connecting, but it also involves risks such as exposure to inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and privacy issues. Therefore Internet safety for students is a fundamental aspect of contemporary education.
Teaching internet safety for students helps protect youngsters from these dangers and empowers them to make informed decisions. It also fosters a sense of responsibility and respect towards others in the digital world, leading to a positive and constructive online way of acting.
To address these considerations, each February, Safer Internet Day (SID) is celebrated. In 2025 the campaign "Together for a better internet" embodies the collaborative approach required to create a safe digital environment for young people worldwide.

Our activity!
To energize our students so as to behave as responsible citizens of this digital world, let’s share in our group community POSTERS or INFOGRAPHICS with TIPS (Dos and Dont’s) that we created in the context of our eTwinning projects on the twinboard below:
Here is an example:
Looking for partners from Europe for my citizenship themed project.
Hello.
I am working at a secondary school. I have a project idea about citizenship. The aim of the project is to make our students gain the citizenship concept and be an active citizen who is sensitive to the social problems, attends democratic processes in their society and has critical thinking about the social issues. Also I aim to improve their language skills by communicating students from different countries. They can use their mother tounge during the activities in their school, but they should use English to share them with the partners. I am looking for hardworking and enthusiastic partners from Europe.
Age group : 12-14
Starting soon!
You can contact me on sevda.cam@hotmail.com
Cofounder needed for this project : Flash mob in honor of Holocaust victims 27 january 10.00 am Bruxelles time
I’m looking for a COFOUNDER for this project
Flash mob in honor of Holocaust victims 27 january 10.00 am Bruxelles time
Go out into the school’s garden at the same time to sing “Gam Gam” together. The text is simple and repetitive so the kids can learn it easily.
It's not important to know the lyrics by heart, but to share the moment.
The demonstration has the sole purpose of commemorating the victims who lost their lives in those years and there are no political or religious reasons behind this demonstration.
The videos of the various flash mobs will be uploaded to the Etwinning platform.

MetaCitizens
Hello everyone, I am happy to announce the start of our MetaCitizens project where we will work with students between the ages of 12-15. In our project, we will use artificial intelligence and metavers tools for citizenship. I wish everyone a nice project process.
Project "Citizenship by books"
Hello!
My name is Paulo Matos. I'm a portuguese teacher who teaches Portuguese, Drama and Citizenchip.
I've prepared a project with a collegue that makes students think about citizenship through the books they read, are reading or may read.
At the moment, I'm not able to manage the project, but, if there's anyone interested in it, we can wonder when it will be possible.
See you!
Paulo
