Digitalising Childhoods workshop program involves a network of five universities in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland and aims to increase cutting-edge research knowledge of the potentials and pressing issues of digitalisation on children’s (aged 0-18 years) participation, learning, and wellbeing in Nordic societies and beyond. This aim is realised by an international, multi-sector and multi-disciplinary workshop programme organized during the years 2019-2021. The outcomes will be communicated via academic articles and practice-orientated publications as well as policy briefs that will inform multiple stakeholders.
