Description: As digital technology becomes an integral part of children's daily lives, ensuring their rights and fostering inclusion in the digital age is more critical than ever. This workshop explores best practices and innovative approaches to safeguarding children’s digital rights, promoting online safety, and encouraging inclusive digital participation among young people. The proposed session will focus on the following key topics: 1. Online Safety for Children: We will examine practical strategies to create safe online environments for children and address common risks like cyberbullying, online predators, and harmful content. 2. Digital Literacy and Inclusion: We will discuss how digital literacy initiatives can empower children, allowing them to fully participate in the digital world while promoting inclusivity across different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds. 3. Human Rights in the Digital Space: Our panel will explore how children's rights, including privacy, freedom of expression, and access to information, can be protected in the digital realm. We will also consider the impact of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, on children's rights. Our approach is grounded in showcasing concrete impacts and results from programs and policies that have successfully promoted children's rights and inclusion in the digital space. Through case studies and real-world examples, we will highlight how stakeholders, including governments, NGOs, and technology companies, can collaborate to create a safer and more inclusive digital environment for children. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the challenges and solutions related to children's digital rights and be equipped with practical tools and best practices to foster a safe, inclusive, and respectful digital space for the next generation.
