Digital Citizen Day is your chance to promote responsible and compassionate behavior online. Taking place on October 23, 2024, this event encourages everyone to be mindful of how they engage in digital spaces. Whether it’s checking sources before sharing information, reporting hate speech, or being mindful of privacy, small actions can make the internet a better place. To get involved, use #DigitalCitizenDay and share your tips for improving online interactions.
Educators and community leaders are invited to participate by organizing activities and using MediaSmarts’ resources to guide discussions about empathy, privacy, and ethical media use. It’s about reminding everyone that behind every screen, there’s a real person.
