Bee Secure is the primary authority in Luxembourg for educating children, teachers, parents, and seniors on proper internet behavior.
To ensure that children and teenagers are educated about safe internet use, Bee Secure was established by the SNJ (Service National de la Jeunesse), KJT (Kanner-Jugendtelefon), the Luxembourg House of Security, Police Luxembourg, and the Office of Prosecution of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Supported by the European Commission and the Ministry of Education, among others, Bee Secure addresses the harmful consequences of improper online behavior.
What is Bee Secure and what is their aim?
Bee Secure's primary mission is to raise public awareness about the safer and more responsible use of technology and social media. The initiative engages in raising public awareness through publications, social media, and national press.
It organises events like Safer Internet Day and participates in youth panels to gather feedback and stay updated on trends.
Bee Secure offers training sessions that are conducted in primary and secondary schools and integrated into the school curriculum. Additionally, extracurricular training is offered for children and youth, along with further training for teachers and educators. Information events and practical guides are also available for parents and caregivers.
They also offer two additional services:
The Bee Secure Helpline provides free, anonymous, and confidential support for online security and responsible digital media use, serving citizens of all ages, including children, youth, parents, teachers, and seniors. It addresses issues such as cyberbullying, sexting, sextortion, data privacy, and e-crime.
Additionally, the Bee Secure Stopline is an anonymous platform dedicated to reporting illegal online content, such as child sexual abuse material, racism, and terrorism-related content. Reports are meticulously analyzed and, when warranted, forwarded to appropriate authorities for further action.
Since its inception, Bee Secure has made significant strides in improving cybersecurity awareness and promoting safer online behavior in Luxembourg. By empowering individuals with knowledge and resources, the initiative aims to reduce the incidence of cyber threats and enhance digital literacy.
Bee Secure updates its programs and resources to align with technological advancements and evolving cybersecurity landscapes. This dedication to adaptation guarantees that its initiatives maintain relevance and effectiveness in protecting citizens' online security.
