On Safer Internet Day 2026, on Tuesday, February 10th, students around the world are encouraged to think critically about how they use technology and how to make safe, responsible choices online, particularly in relation to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. This year’s theme is exploring the safe and responsible use of AI.
As part of this global awareness day, PYP, MYP and DP students will take part in age-appropriate activities during their lessons, exploring online boundaries, consent, critical thinking, and responsible use of technology, including AI.
