Inter-Generational Dialogue #3: Protect: building a safer online world

The digitalization of our daily lives is increasing at an unprecedented pace, partly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. But more time spent on more activities online means more safety issues, particularly for young people. How can we ensure a safer online experience for all? Should we look to digital skills, policies or technologies themselves to provide solutions? How can we build trust and mitigate online harm? How can young people contribute to designing policies and regulations to strengthen a safer online environment for everyone? Join sector decision-makers and young leaders in identifying potential solutions moving forward
