Across seven cities in France and Luxembourg, sports fields buzzed with energy. Kids aged 10 to 14, including those from underserved neighborhoods and those living with disabilities, joined football workshops with a twist.
One minute they were passing the ball, the next they were talking about cyberbullying. After a quick skills challenge, they discussed how to manage screen time. Sport became a shared language for tackling topics that are sometimes difficult to bring up.
More than 200 Orange volunteers and local club partners led workshops designed to teach kids about online safety while keeping things fun. Interactive quizzes and open discussions helped them understand the risks that can hide behind their everyday screens.
The tips shared on the day are still available on bienvivreledigital.orange.fr, so the learning continues long after the final whistle.
This was not just a one-off event. It is part of For Good Connections, a program launched on Safer Internet Day 2024 to help protect young people from online risks wherever Orange operates.
From Europe to Africa to the Middle East, Orange builds safety tools into its services and supports parents and children in their digital lives. Good Connections has become a global symbol of our commitment to a safer and more responsible internet.

This Good Connections Day was full of genuine moments of connection, where sport carried a powerful message about staying safe online. Through workshops, games and open conversations, Orange showed that learning can be fun, engaging and unforgettable.
