4. European Strategy for a better internet for children (ESBIC)

In a world where digital life begins early, children and young people are not just users – they’re explorers, learners, and creators in online spaces. But they also face real risks, unequal access, and a lack of voice in shaping the digital environment around them.

This module introduces you to the European Strategy for a Better Internet for Children (ESBIC) – a comprehensive EU framework designed to make digital spaces safer, more inclusive, and empowering for young people.

You’ll explore:

• What ESBIC is and how it supports young people’s rights, safety, and participation online
• Real-world examples of how countries and organisations put ESBIC into action
• How to turn its values into creative, youth-led advocacy and campaign messages

By the end of this module, you’ll understand how policies become practice – and how you can help build a better internet for your generation and the ones to come.
