Smart electronic devices and the internet offer great opportunities – if we surf smart. To inform kids and their parents about such opportunities and risks, the Swiss Government has created the website and comic book “Stories from the Internet” in all four Swiss languages and in English. The website and the comic book are now also available in the three official languages of Bosnia and Hercegovina.

The BiH versions of the website and the comic book have been elaborated in cooperation with the BiH Ministry of Communication and Transport and the NGO International Forum of Solidarity – Emmaus. They play a key role in distributing the comic book in BiH, and the NGO also maintains an SOS helpline where people in respective trouble receive immediate assistance.
