The Safer Internet Day, under the slogan “Create, Respect and Connect: Better Internet Starts With You”, was marked in Bosnia and Herzegovina, organized by the International Forum of Solidarity – EMMAUS with the support of the Committee for the Marking of the Safer Internet Day BiH (SID Committee of BiH) and sponsors Microsoft and Logosoft.
On February 6, a competition for elementary and secondary school students from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia was realized through specially created applications on the website www.dansigurnijeginterneta.org which consisted of an online quiz with questions related to safe use of the Internet, after which the above mentioned the website, as well as the website www.sigurnodijete.ba published winners of the quiz among the children who correctly answered to 80% and more questions.
This year, more than 17400 students from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia took part in the competition, and approached the quiz more than 44600 times, as a result of successful cooperation and commitment of IFS-EMMAUS and CNZD (Center for Missing and Exploited Children), as well as members of the SID Committeeof BiH, Ministries of education, Pedagogical institutes, Educational institutions and media from all over Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, who, before the competition, implemented a series of activities aimed at animating children for participation in the competition.
