As technology continues to shape how young people learn, communicate, socialize and express themselves, the need for practical conversations about online safety and artificial intelligence (AI) has never been greater.

High Sound for Children (HSC) organizes the Digital Safety Festival each year, bringing together approximately 1,000 learners from secondary schools in one space to discuss online safety, responsible digital citizenship and the opportunities and risks associated with emerging technologies.

Creating space for young people's voices

The Digital Safety Festival is designed to go beyond traditional awareness campaigns by creating an interactive space where learners can openly discuss their online experiences, ask questions, share concerns and learn from one another.

The festival encourages learners to reflect on their digital footprints, understand the long-term consequences of their online actions and develop practical strategies for protecting themselves and their peers.

Regional Digital Safety Festivals are also organized to engage learners across different regions, providing opportunities for schools and communities to discuss online safety and responsible technology use. These regional events culminate in a grand Digital Safety Festival at the end of the academic year, bringing learners and key stakeholders together to share experiences, strengthen collaboration and renew their commitment to creating a safer digital environment for children.
