The conference will ask a series of pressing questions:

§ What new digital literacies and coping skills are they developing?

§ How can parents and policy makers balance online opportunities and 
risks for children?

§ How do children themselves perceive online risk and safety issues?

§ Why do risks differ from country to country, and what new risks are 
emerging?

§ How can governments, educators, NGOs and industry better support 
children online?

Papers will be presented by researchers from over 20 countries in Europe 
and beyond.

Please note that the programme is now complete and regretfully we are
