Why Now? Listen Up! Advancing Digital Wellbeing for Children and Youth

Today’s digital world is largely designed without input from its youngest users.

In a fast moving industry, companies and policymakers are scrambling to set rules for online spaces, but children and youth – the group most impacted – are often left out of the conversation.

Listen Up! Advancing Digital Wellbeing for Children and Youth was created to change this.

By actively listening to young people and understanding their perspectives, together with our Tech and Telecom partners, we aim to create lasting change.

We have the power to ensure that children’s needs, voices and experiences shape the digital policies, and products and services they consume – both now and in the future.
