BeSmartOnline! continues the fight against online risks
Following the successful application for EU funds under Connecting Europe Facility, the fourth phase of the BeSmartOnline! project was officially launched during a press conference held this morning. This marks yet another important milestone for the consortium, which can now continue its work as the ‘Safer Internet Centre’ in Malta.
BeSmartOnline! has been the national flagship initiative that promotes the safer use of the Internet for the past 6 years. These funds will allow it to carry on this mission over the next 30 months. The project is coordinated by the Malta Communications Authority and implemented through a consortium made up of the Foundation for Social Welfare Services, the Office of the Commissioner for Children and the Directorate for Quality and Standards in Education (DQSE).
