🤝 Partner Announcement | Human Change x Davos Lodge 2026

We are proud to announce Human Change as a strategic partner of Davos Lodge 2026.

Human Change is an international initiative addressing one of the most urgent challenges of our time: how digitalisation reshapes childhood and human development. Their mission focuses on understanding and mitigating the profound effects that constant screen exposure and algorithm-driven environments have on children’s cognitive, emotional, and social growth.

This year, Human Change will also host its own dedicated space in Davos, creating a global platform for dialogue, scientific insight, and policymaker engagement.

As Human Change highlights:
“The digitalisation of everyday life has profound consequences for our children. This cultural shift is causing ‘Human Change’ — where children’s core development is shaped not by real people and real-world experiences, but by the addictive algorithms behind their screens.”

We are honored to collaborate with Human Change in elevating this critical conversation at the highest international level.
