We work together with local authorities and civil society
As an international foundation, we believe it’s important to collaborate with local governments and civil society, placing young people at the heart of our organization. We employ a phased approach based on a flexible program.
Digital Child Rights program
Our program consists of four phases. In the first phase, we focus on raising awareness and developing a multi-year plan.

Our principles for cooperation
The online world offers many opportunities for children and young people. That’s why it is important that the digital world is a friendly and safe environment for everyone. It is important that data of children and young people is properly protected. All organizations are obliged to take good care of digital children’s rights. Laws and regulations must be complied with. There must also be good plans with sufficient money to be able to work together on digital children’s rights.
It is important that proper research is done, so that everyone knows how things are going with digital children’s rights. It is also necessary that sufficient and understandable information about rights in the digital world is shared. Not only for children and young people, but also for people who have to take care of children and young people. The digital world should be a friendly place for everyone! All children and young people have rights in the digital world in child-friendly spaces.
