Digital ActionLabs
June 2020
We live in a rapidly changing world where unprecedented challenges call on business to formulate new strategies to remain relevant. We are experiencing the consequences of climate change, navigating risks and opportunities of digitalisation, understanding shifting consumer patterns and adapting to new demographic and globalisation trends. Business and children alike are key stakeholders in this new setting. Both groups are enablers, catalysts, and drivers of change. And both have great potential to create positive impacts.
Featuring inspiring speakers, plenary panels, interactive sessions and participation of members of the Swedish Royal Family – our Digital Action Lab series will provide companies with leading insight and tools on how to best advance children´s rights and manage related risks in their operations and supply chains. The Digital Action Labs this fall will address four themes;
The Advantage for Business to Engage with Children’s Rights, October 8th, 16:00-17:30 CET
How to reach an edge in engaging with children’s rights in your company’s operations and strategic planning?
Listening to the Change-Maker Generation, October 20th, 16:00-17:30 CET
How are the emerging generation of change makers influencing societal relations to consumption and companies?
A Collapsing Planet: The Impact of Climate Change on Children’s Health, November 3rd, 16:00-17:30 CET
What are the health effects on children from corporate mitigation and adaptation to climate change?
Data Mining in the Sandbox: Children’s Safety Online, November 18th, 16:00-17:30 CET
Exploring the tension between products that make children’s lives better, and the collection of data that goes in the process.

In the final days before lockdown was introduced in the United Kingdom, CRIN hosted a panel discussion on surveillance and facial recognition at the Tate Modern where we addressed some of the risks they pose for children’s rights. Since then, the Covid-19 pandemic has forced many people to move their lives almost exclusively online, as adults began working from home and schools resorted to online learning. Such big changes, however, raise basic questions.
