How are different cultures and countries managing a new generation of youth increasingly using screens for social connection, entertainment, and education? Are children using digital media in the same ways around the world?  What can we learn from what other communities are doing to protect and advocate for children?

This #AskTheExperts webinar, “Beyond Borders: Global Perspectives on Digital Media and Children,” held on Thursday December 1, 2022 at 12:30 pm ET via Zoom, featured an international panel of experts who examined the latest trends in youth media habits, research, policies and parenting perspectives from around the world. While borders may be easily blurred in the digital commons, this special webinar explored  the variances in regional and cultural perceptions and responses to the impacts of digital media on youth and families, and how these different approaches might be applied to advocacy for children in every community.
