Children and young people

Not all children and young people are always able to participate well in the digital world. Sometimes their disability prevents them, they don’t have a computer or mobile phone, they can’t afford a subscription, or there is no Wi-Fi available at all. As a result, they miss out on opportunities to develop properly in the digital world. Their digital environment is often not suitable for their (young) age. This makes children and young people vulnerable online, and they often feel unsafe in their digital environment. They also experience problems due to unhealthy screen use and negative experiences such as online bullying, discrimination, fake news, misuse of their privacy, etc. Children and young people are often not aware of their digital rights and responsibilities. They also lack the right digital skills. They do not ask for help, or ask too late, and they struggle with their digital well-being; they are too digitally vulnerable.

Adults and professionals

Parents, caregivers, and professionals, such as youth workers, teachers, and government policy staff, do not always provide children and young people with the right guidance and support. They know too little about digital life and about the rights of children and young people. They also do not listen enough to what they experience in their digital lives. Social organizations and government bodies often struggle to reach and understand young people. Adults also don’t sufficiently recognize the challenges children and young people face regarding their digital well-being. As a result, they often lack the appropriate support for vulnerable children and young people who lack resilience. As a result, a gap emerges, young people do not always participate fully, they are unable to properly develop their digital talents, and shortages arise in the labor market when it comes to a well-trained, digitally skilled new generation.

Children and young people

We organize processes for our guest lessons, workshops, challenges, discussions, presentations, and events for children and young people in their local environment in all countries, in which trained young ambassadors and coaches can contribute (peer-to-peer) voluntarily or for payment.

Adults and professionals

We organize processes for schools, community centers, cultural institutions, youth organizations and governments, which can make free or paid use of our trainings, tools, desk, lab, panel, and platform. In each country, we organize the process around one or more networks to encourage collaboration.

Children and young people

Children and young people in all countries enjoy and find it meaningful to participate in our (inter)national and local digital children’s rights activities, in which our youth ambassadors and coaches find it interesting and worthwhile to contribute, either voluntarily or for payment with other young people in their own country and local environment.

Adults and professionals

Staff of schools, community centers, cultural institutions, and (local) governments find it interesting and important to make one-time or repeated use of our portfolio. Organizations and governments consider it important to establish a network with us, so that collaboration is encouraged, and parents and caregivers are also reached.

Children and young people

In every country, we encourage all children and young people to become more aware of their digital rights, to develop their digital skills and talents more effectively, and to participate more actively through our activities. As part of digital citizenship, we make it possible for children to grow into ambassadors and for young people to become coaches.

Adults and professionals

We enable parents, caregivers, (youth) professionals, and (local) governments in every country to better listen to the digital experiences, problems, and wishes of all children and young people, thanks to our Panel reports. In doing so, we contribute to age-appropriate guidance and support in child-friendly digital environments.

Children and young people

In every country, we contribute to child-friendly digital environments for the new generation of digital citizens, so that all children and young people better understand their digital rights, recognize online risks earlier, become digitally skilled and more resilient, and can better take advantage of their opportunities in the digital world.

Adults and professionals

In every country, we contribute through our Monitor reports on the status and progress of child-friendly digital environments, so that parents, caregivers, professionals, governments, children, and young people can provide earlier and better guidance and support regarding their digital rights, skills, and resilience.
