Targets: This session aims to discuss the impacts of Extended Reality (XR) on children and explore effective ways to ensure the protection of children's digital rights in the use of this innovative technology. By addressing issues related to physical and mental health, inclusive learning, technology access, digital equality, online safety, responsible consumption and global collaboration, this initiative is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By discussing the impacts of XR on children, we are contributing directly to SDG 3 (Health and Well-Being), SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reducing Inequalities). In addition, we seek to ensure that the use of XR promotes digital inclusion (SDG 9), creates sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), promotes responsible consumption (SDG 12) and upholds peace, justice and effective institutions (SDG 16). Through collaboration and knowledge sharing in this session, we will be moving towards SDG 17 (Partnerships and Means of Implementation).
The session at this event will be held in a dynamic and engaging format, with the participation of renowned experts in digital law and experienced professionals who work directly with children and adolescents. During the 30-minute duration, we will have presentations by experts who will address the challenges and impacts of Extended Reality (XR) on children, as well as best practices to ensure the protection of their digital rights.

The growing adoption of Extended Reality (XR) technology has the potential to positively impact children's learning, creativity, and social skills. However, careful consideration is needed regarding the potential negative effects of excessive use. Prolonged exposure to XR can lead to online insecurity, lack of real-world physical activity, limited social interaction, and exposure to harmful content such as violent games, sexual content, or hate speech. Understanding the full impact of this technology on children is still a challenge, which is why this session aims to discuss ways to ensure the protection of children's digital rights in the use of XR. Regulation plays a crucial role in promoting the healthy and responsible use of XR technology among children. Establishing a clear and specific regulatory framework for children's use of XR can enable them to fully benefit from these innovations while ensuring their safety and well-being. Furthermore, regulation can foster the development of valuable skills and positive behaviors, contributing to a healthy relationship with technology from an early age. By participating in this session, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the debate on how to balance the benefits of XR with the protection of children's rights
In addition to the expert presentations, the session will be enriched with the active participation of the audience, both in person and online. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and contribute to the debate. The interaction between participants and speakers will promote an environment for exchanging knowledge and diverse perspectives. With a combination of experts in digital law and professionals who deal directly with children and adolescents, this session will provide a comprehensive and grounded view on the protection of children's digital rights in the context of XR. By engaging both online and face-to-face audiences, we seek to ensure broad participation and promote inclusive and meaningful discussion.
