The event is celebrated on 6 February 2007. More than 200 schools and 150 organisations take part in the event via a global ‘blogathon’ and competition for creating digital materials on ePrivacy, Netiquette, Innovation and the Power of Images. Schools can win valuable prizes for their work. Starting as an initiative in 2004, SID has become a major annual event crowning the awareness activities of Insafe (www.saferinternet.org), the European safer internet network coordinated by European Schoolnet. The growing network of nodes from Europe and beyond has a mission to promote media literacy and the safe, ethical and efficient use of the internet and mobile phones. Events are being organised by all national nodes for SID. Schools will showcase their creations in the 2007 Blogathon: a blog that opens every year on SID. On 6 February, 4 winners will be announced and receive prizes of ICT equipment for the schools worth a total of 3,000 euros. At the same time, the blog will be opened to participating organisations, who will each post messages on the topic of ‘crossing borders’.
