Parents & caretakers

Over the past few years, a divide has emerged between youngsters growing up with the internet and parents growing up without. As a parent, you are faced with this divide when raising your children. While you as a parent may see the dangers, your child may see the internet as a wonderful place to discover all kinds of things. Within the Movez network, we work together with youth to explore how we can empower them to become smart, healthy and happy media users. We aim to make a contribution to society together with youth.

Are you curious about how you as a parent can make sure your child uses digital media in a fun and safe way, or would you like to know more about our research and how you and your child can get involved? Then take a quick look!
