Mission & Goals
I am an expert and researcher based in Portugal, with a mission to promote children's rights in the digital environment through education, research, and public engagement. My work focuses on children's digital lives, media education, and digital citizenship, informed by an ethics of care and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and General Comment n.º 25 on children's digital rights. I operate at European, national and regional levels, engaging in public consultations, academic collaboration, and civic initiatives related to children's digital wellbeing and rights.
