About our SID activities

Global Kids Online was developed as a collaborative initiative between the UNICEF Office of Research-Innocenti, the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and the EU Kids Online network. The project aims to connect evidence with the ongoing international dialogue regarding policy and practical solutions for children’s wellbeing and rights in the digital age, especially in the global South.

What we are doing to create a better internet…

Our latest research results reveal children’s exposure to online hate and violence. Additionally, new research from Uruguay explores the risks and opportunities associated with gaining internet access. Stay tuned for the upcoming research results from Costa Rica: http://globalkidsonline.net/results/.

About us

Global Kids Online is an international research project that aims to generate and sustain a rigorous cross-national evidence base around children’s use of the internet by creating a global network of researchers and experts.

The project developed a global research toolkit that would enable academics, governments, civil society and other actors to carry out reliable and standardised national research with children and their parents on the opportunities, risks, and protective factors of children’s internet use.
