The overall objective of the Saferinternet RO  project, sigur.info,  is to promote Internet safety for children by establishing a Romanian combined Node consisting of a Hotline, a Helpline and awareness activities. Beside this, the project aims to provide teachers, parents and child protection specialists with knowledge and tools for protecting their children in the new technological environment. The node that is developing this project in Romania is created by a Consortium comprising two non-governmental organizations and one company with extensive expertise in areas directly connected to children’s rights, to child protection and to the current technologies which might call for special preventive measures.

The consortium is formed by:

Save the Children Romania (as program’s CO) has been developing, ever since 1990, social and educational programs for all children, child rights monitoring activities, paying special attention to children in difficulty.

Positive Media, developer of genium.ro and sigur.info portals, dedicated for safe internet navigation, is involved in the promotion of several projects Pro-Life, against alcoholism, drug consumption, as well as support programs for the elderly, children and disadvantaged families.

The Romanian Center for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children – FOCUS has had an important contribution in the decrease of child disappearance and sexual exploitation phenomena through: awareness campaigns for parents and children, mass media involvement, authorities and volunteers' activities.

The encyclopedia will be structured for multi-language and the representatives of the European nodes will be able to access it and to write definitions in their language.
