About the conference

In this pre-conference, scholars and practitioners will explore how 
research can inform policy, regulation and design with children in 
digital environments. The pre-conference is particularly interested in 
how Global South perspectives can shape global debates. The 
preconference will be framed by the UN Committee on the Rights of the 
Child’s General comment No. 25 on Children’s Rights in Relation to the 
Digital Environment.
