Behind the Scroll: Experience How the EU Protects and Empowers Children and Teens Online

What really happens to children and teens online? What risks do they encounter - and how is Europe responding? Step inside the digital world as young users experience it today.

This immersive, interactive walkthrough puts you in a child’s shoes as you navigate realistic online scenarios, confronting risks such as sexual solicitation, commercial exploitation and addictive platform design. Along the way, discover how the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) is designed to protect minors and strengthen their rights in the digital environment. Engaging, eye-opening, and grounded in real-world challenges, Behind the Scroll makes the impact of smart digital policies tangible and immediate. First showcased at the EU House @ South by Southwest 2026.
