Building Toward Digital Well-being for Children

To mark this year’s National Media Literacy Week, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center joined the Children’s Media Association, the LEGO Group, and the National Association for Media Literacy Education to present an interactive virtual session called “Building Toward Digital Well-being for Children” on October 26, 2022.

Moderator David Kleemen (Dubit) served as host of this “news magazine” evening exploring the questions: “What is children’s digital well-being?” “Why is it important?” and “how can we all build towards it?” with New America’s Amanda LaTasha Armstrong, the LEGO Group’s Daisy Soderberg-Rivkin, and the Cooney Center’s Medha Tare. 

Medha also shared research and plans from the Responsible Innovation in Technology for Children (RITEC) initiative, a multi-year international and cross-sectoral project, co-founded by the LEGO Group and UNICEF and funded by the LEGO Foundation focused on prioritizing children’s well-being in a digital age
