The project consists of three components. First, a Nordic analysis will synthesize evidence-based knowledge on the positive and negative effects of digital media on children and young people, alongside an overview of existing policies and initiatives across the Nordic countries. Second, a report presenting the perspectives and recommendations of Nordic children and young people will be produced. Both reports are scheduled for publication in late 2026. I will post updates here when they are out. Finally, joint Nordic recommendations will be developed on the basis of the research findings and stakeholder consultations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have the privilege of serving as an expert in the Nordic Welfare Center\u2019s working group on Nordic co-operation for a safer digital democracy for children and youth.
