#shareaheart campaign

12 Aug 2015 UK SIC

On 9th February 2016 we encouraged everyone to play their part and #shareaheart for Safer Internet Day, and the social media campaign was by far the biggest one yet! 

The response was incredible!

  • The #shareaheart Thunderclap kick started the social media campaign and reached over 4 million people in a mass social media post on the morning of Safer Internet Day!
  • Celebrities and young people met together for our very first Safer Internet Day InstaMeet, with hearts created by a fantastic London artist.
  • 12,000 tweets were sent by schools, organisations and individuals who joined the #shareaheart social media campaign to help inspire kindness online.

 Here are some of our favourites…. https://storify.com/UK_SIC/play-your-part-shareaheart/embed?border=false&template=grid

The internet is for all of us and that’s why we’d love to see our hearts filled with positive and inspiring messages, just like CBBC Friday Download presenters Molly and Harvey have done.

How are you playing your part?

Safer Internet Day is a chance for everyone to do something positive to help make the internet a better place. 

For example you could send a nice message to a friend, report mean comments or talk to your parents about what you like to do online. Share with us how you plan to play your part by writing your actions in the heart…
