This year’s edition will take place in a hybrid format on Thursday, 27 October 2022 under the theme "A Digital Decade for children and youth: BIK+ to protect, empower and respect!"
The event will offer a platform for discussion for policy makers, researchers, law enforcement bodies, youth, parents and carers, teachers, NGOs, industry representatives, experts and other relevant actors.
Following the recent launch of the new BIK+ strategy, this year’s edition will provide an opportunity to discuss the strategy in detail, identifying its key objectives and priority actions.
Given the strategy's key focus on youth participation and empowerment and to mark also the European Year of Youth, the event will be youth-led, with young people playing an active role in the planning, preparation and delivery of the Forum.
