  Hi everyone, welcome to LSE Today.

  This is an event which forms part of the LSE Festival, Visions for the Future.

  which is a series of events exploring the threats and opportunities of the near and distant future and what a better world could look like.

  My name is Dr. Kim Sylvander,

  and I'm a researcher at the Digital Futures for Children Center at the Department of Media and Communications.

  The Digital Futures for Children is a joint research center between LSE and Five Rights Foundation,

• 00:46

  which advances understandings of the challenges and opportunities presented by digital technologies for children's rights and needs.

  Our partner organization, Five Rights Foundation,

• 00:55

  is an international NGO dedicated to transforming the digital environment so that it speaks,

  it respects and advances children's rights.

  Together we work with their Global Youth Ambassadors program consisting of over 200 children and youth in over 50 countries,

• 01:11

  some of which you'll meet today.

• 01:13

  So today's event is called Empowerment, Safety and Equity,

• 01:17

  Children's Visions of Rights Respecting Digital Futures.

• 01:21

  And the theme draws on a project we've done with children engaged in the Global Youth Ambassadors program in 14 different countries from around the world.

  Through a series of Foresight workshops held this spring,

• 01:33

  the Youth Ambassadors imagined what a rights-respecting and inclusive digital future could look like over the next 25 years.
