Join us virtually to explore the impact of children in a digital world
How is the continual, rapid rise in technological advancement affecting the lives of children and young people in Western societies? This thought-provoking webinar will consider mental health and wellbeing, and the insidious nature of habit-forming technologies in our homes, communities and education settings. Participants will leave with an understanding of why we critically question our use of technology with children and young people, how we safeguard them, and the exciting research and professional opportunities these discussions can provide. This webinar will also explore the relevant childhood and education degrees available at the º£½ÇÊÓƵ.
