What’s it really like growing up in 2026? We explore the impact of media choices on young people’s wellbeing and how we can help them flourish.
What part can kids’ media makers play in helping young people thrive in this “brave new world”? And how do we serve those who aren’t being served by others? We all want our young people to have empathy, resilience, creativity and happiness – how do their media choices support them with this? And just how easy is it to give them connection, meaning, and purpose in 2026?
Following on from Catherine Carr’s CMC Opening Keynote spotlight on what young people think and feel, our expert panel explores the current challenges and some simple solutions we can all act on today to help young people’s wellbeing flourish.
