MkSafeNet

Short Info: This project addresses the Call for proposals objectives “Accelerating the best use of technologies (DIGITAL-2023-DEPLOY-04),” focusing on supporting the National Centres for Safer Internet in the EU member states and the Associated members. North Macedonia currently lacks an established national Safer Internet Centre (SIC). Recognizing this void, our project is dedicated to laying down the foundational infrastructure required to introduce a comprehensive SIC. Through collaborative efforts, we aim to enhance existing initiatives from both public and private sectors. Our objective is to improve the services offered, facilitate easy access to age-suitable content, and heighten awareness. This will empower individuals to swiftly recognize online risks and understand the avenues for reporting. MKSafeNet’s mission aligns seamlessly with the call’s priorities outlined in the Objectives. At the heart of this initiative is the desire to bolster national capabilities in offering guidance and support. Our target audience extends to children, youth, parents, teachers, guardians, and other vital stakeholders. The project’s core objective is to provide a safer digital experience for children, offering tools and knowledge to navigate digital technologies and services responsibly. Additionally, we are committed to providing robust support mechanisms for victims of cyberbullying, children with special or specific needs, including those from disadvantaged or vulnerable backgrounds.
