The Safer Internet Academy, organised for the fourth year in succession, began its tour around Lithuania on Tuesday. Lecturers, who will be presenting lectures in twelve towns, will invite school pupils to pay attention to the dangers and threats of virtual life, and will teach how to avoid them with the help of their parents and grandparents.
