Digital Wellbeing Youth Summit
Our 2023 Summit
On May 15, 2023, we brought young people and adult advocates and educators together to intentionally build community centering Digital Wellbeing.
57 young people attended representing 11 different high schools and colleges. 100% of participants were engaged and participated in the activities! We danced, played human bingo, and were quite goofy during our games. We were inspired to learn how our mind is like a garden and the importance of sleep with Dr. Roxanne Prichard. We celebrated the Digital Wellbeing Youth Contest Showcase winners. And made connections and learned during student-led breakout sessions. The highlight for many students was the opportunity to be in a circle in conversation about the effects of Digital Media.
