On Wednesday, 13 April 2022, following a request and great interest from schools in Cyprus and Greece, the online educational activity "Athena and Dickie in the Magic World of the Internet" was held, for the third time, for students of grades 1 to 4 of primary school. The relevant action is a repetition of the actions that took place on 20 December 2021 and 9 February 2022, with the ultimate goal of empowering creative and critical thinking students on issues of responsible and safe use of the Internet.

The educational action "Athena and Dickie in the Magic World of the Internet" was attended by thousands of students and dozens of primary school teachers from various geographical areas of Cyprus and Greece. It is very important to note that among the 300 or so sections of primary schools in Cyprus and Greece, sections from the occupied Rizokarpaso Primary School participated for the first time.
The participating students, showing great interest and enthusiasm, with the help of the authors and heroes of the fairy tales "Athena learns about personal data" and "Dickie in the Magic World of the Internet", were informed in a creative way about the safe use of the Internet. In particular, the students were informed about cyberbullying, the protection of personal data, long hours and communication with strangers on the Internet.
This action was co-organized by the Cyprus Internet Safety Centre-CYberSafety (https:/www.cybersafety.cy), which is coordinated by the Cyprus Pedagogical Institute of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth, and the Internet Safety Centre of Greece (https:/saferinternet4kids.gr/).
This effort offered the opportunity for classes from Greece and Cyprus to connect and communicate remotely, much to the satisfaction of the participating students and teachers. In addition, the whole activity is evaluated as very important, because it further strengthens the close cooperation between the two Safer Internet Centres (Cyprus and Greece). In addition, this effort adopts the encouragement of the relevant bodies of the European Union (Insafe and INHOPE) to exchange views, best practices, experiences and know-how regarding the promotion of safe and responsible use of the Internet, as well as the exchange and exploitation of educational material, in printed and digital form, between the two Centres.
