My concern - our mission
Children's well-being is a shared responsibility. It is about ensuring a happy and safe childhood and a society, where we are part of meaningful communities. I have two boys, aged 9 and 11, whom I try to shield from too much screen time. This is increasingly difficult with invasive digital technology being part of their learning and social environments: kindergarten, school, after-school clubs and play with friends.
