This platform provides access to the dedicated work, support, services, and policies in place - across the EU and beyond - to make this a reality.

Young people interact with the digital world daily. Whether they’re gaming, chatting with friends, or seeking homework help, they make the most of the countless opportunities for learning and connection that the internet offers. However, this also exposes children and adolescents to risks, such as harmful or age-inappropriate content, often when they least expect it.

'Media Ukkie Days' campaign in the Netherlands

Our yearly Media Ukkie campaign is focused on the youngest children from 0 to 6 years old, and their parents. The theme of the Media Ukkie Days 2024 was Relaxing with Media. The role media plays in helping children - and ourselves - relax became evident through the results of the Iene Miene Media research. No less than 91 per cent of parents sometimes use digital media to create time for themselves. However, many parents (50 per cent) also observe that digital media do not necessarily help their little ones relax.
