CONVENE: Are young people surviving or thriving in the digital age?

Surviving or Thriving: How are Young People Doing in the Digital Age?

How are young people navigating life in a world defined by constant connectivity, rapid technological change, and the rise of AI? This panel will highlight new research from both young people and parents on the realities of living in a digital age—from how online time is experienced and managed, to the opportunities and challenges it creates. We’ll explore how young people are imagining their futures in the midst of technological disruption, what advances in AI mean for their education and well-being, and how families and communities can foster healthy, supportive digital environments.

Created in partnership with the Archewell Foundation.

The Convene Pillar is supported by Nespresso and ServiceNow.
