Earlier this week in Madrid, we brought together young people from Cibercorresponsales, parents, educators, policymakers, industry leaders, and digital safety advocates to discuss one of the most pressing challenges facing families today: how to keep young people safe online while helping them make the most of the opportunities the digital world offers.
The conversation was informed by our latest research across Spain and Europe, which shows that parents want to remain in the driving seat when it comes to their children’s digital wellbeing, with stronger support for parent-approval solutions rather than blanket restrictions.
Together with SEK International Schools and Fad Juventud, and with Nora Kurtin from Sapos y Princesas moderating the discussion, participants explored what it takes to make digital safety and wellbeing a reality.
From addressing parents’ top concerns such as cyberbullying, talking to strangers, and inappropriate content and to exploring safety features, resources, and practical tools, the conversation focused on solutions that can be applied in everyday family life.
As María Zabala from Fad Juventud noted:
“The more we learn, the better equipped we are to help young people navigate its challenges, dangers, risks, as well as its opportunities.”
She also emphasised:
“Protection goes hand in hand with our own digital literacy and willingness to keep learning.”
