Esther Rozendaal focuses on a participatory approach with children. What do they need to optimally utilize opportunities of digital media and effectively manage their risks? Through co-creation, children explore their online world, analyze risks and develop potential solutions. #HealthystartTRM

Eveline Crone @ecrone.bsky.social gathers input from the audience on what challenges youth face nowadays. One converging insight is they face many different challenges (polycrisis). Are we really working to solve this polycrisis as researchers? How can we rethink development? #HealthystartTRM

We are rounding up a great first day with an interactive design thinking session by Susanna Osinga. We learn to use visualization tools to reflect on all the sessions, to integrate the knowledge we gained and see where we could go next. #HealthystartTRM

@sjblakemore.bsky.social continues the conversation by illustrating how behavioral and neuroscience studies can inform policy to achieve impact. How can what we know about brain development inform establishing an appropriate age of criminal responsibility? #HealthystartTRM

Lysanne te Brinke (co-organizer of the meeting) explains that youth experience a large gap between their need to contribute and the perceived opportunities to do so. Using youth participatory designs helps to uncover what youth find meaningful, and how we can decrease the gap. #HealthystartTRM

Gijs Schumacher from the Hot Politics Lab provides a commentary on the previous talks. How do we get people together to start collective action? Youth want to stand out, but this need for distinction can cause polarization. How can we elicit the right emotions in interventions? #HealthystartTRM

Third and final day of the #HealthystartTRM! We start with @candiceodgers.bsky.social argueing that we are stuck in how we study and see adolescents and their technology use - and that now is the time to better understand and support them in the digital age.

Wouter van den Bos provides a commentary on the prior two talks. How can technology be used to create movements and "scenius" for change? What do we want to build together? How can we ensure and center design around childrens and youth's rights? #HealthystartTRM

We end with reflections by @ecrone.bsky.social : How can we move from knowledge to action? Youth undergo formative changes: they explore and take risks, develop social relationships and need autonomy and respect. How do they use this to become an engaged citizen in society? #HealthystartTRM

Wilco van Dijk provides a commentary to round up the content sessions of the day. How do you ensure diverse voices (of youth and stakeholders) are heard? When are youth THE experts and when do they provide merely additional expertise? What is the optimal level of participation? #HealthystartTRM

Anita Harrewijn offers a more clinical perspective. Adolescence is the age period where many internalizing problems start. Fearful and inhibited temperaments can biase social exclusion and social error processing to fuel anxiety. But how can youth overcome anxiety? #HealthystartTRM

During a lunch walk we came across Artist Rene Jacobs, who co-creates the Vermeer artwork "Gezicht op Delft" with all the inhabitants of Delft, consisting of more than 110.000 figurines that represent them. Inspiring methaphor for the meeting and our challenge! #HealthystartTRM

We continue with a talk by Ili Ma. Youth often encounter news on social media. But what if they come across misinformation? Differently aged youth may be particular susceptible if persuasion techniques are used. How can interventions be tailored to age-specific sensitivities? #HealthystartTRM

Next, Sander Thomaes explains how we can reframe responsibility that youth take around climate change as "good ancestry". How can youth engage in pro-environmental engagement? What motivates them to do so? How do they start to deal with future threats and uncertainty? #HealthystartTRM
