ICERI Conference Presentation
On June 30 – July 2, 2025, the project team presented our first findings at the 17th International Conference on Education and New Learning Technologies in Palma, Spain. Our presentation DEVELOPING AN ONLINE SAFETY COURSE FOR EUROPEAN TEENS: ANALYSING THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA KNOWLEDGE AND BEHAVIOR is published online in the Conference Proceedings and sparked an important discussion among other youth workers and researchers on how to help teenagers to navigate social media safely and responsibly.
Interviews with teenagers about social media dangers
Recently, Australia passed a law banning children under the age
of 16 from using social media, making it the strictest of such
laws in the world. The Australian government believes this law
will support parents in protecting their children from the
potential harms of social media, such as addiction, privacy
issues, and exposure to inappropriate content. But what do kids
themselves think about this move? Join the discussion!
