Better Internet for Kids

This study includes interviews with just over 80 children and young people aged 9–16.

The study is also part of our work to implement the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child within the Agency's area of operation.

The game is aimed at children in the age of 6 to 9 playing with their parents. In the game the players can take part in seven-year-old Luna or Noah for a week in their lives, exploring together different challenges, joys and dilemmas they may encounter online.

Young europeans spend time on their screens for homework but also to chill, to game and to chat together. Some of them will even challenge each other and launch themselves into “impossible” missions. Challenges are components of their offline environment as well as their online life. Momo Challenge, Blue Whale Challenges or Jonathan Galindo Challenge are no longer unknown. Many young people are cautiously seduced by these challenges and try them in a safe way, but others rush into these challenges without realising the risks. Their popularity creates panic among parents.

Nowadays, many challenges are circulating on the Internet and Youtube. Challenges can be fun and exhilarating. Doing something that is outside your control or that your friends don't dare to do, it stimulates your adrenaline level. But what if these challenges are dangerous? Or if someone is under pressure from the group? How do you react to someone who carries out dangerous missions to increase his or her audience and popularity on social networks?
