About this Event
Your child is going online either way. The question is whether they're ready.
Most parents underestimate what their kids face online. Two thirds get it wrong. One in three children encounters harmful contact before age 13. The average first smartphone arrives at age 11.
This free 3-hour workshop in Amsterdam gives your family a practical plan, a personalised digital resilience path, and tools you'll actually use; before summer starts.
What every family walks away with
- Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation (€22 value) — the landmark book on smartphones and childhood, yours to keep
- Personalised Family Digital Agreement — co-created by you and your child, based on their risk profile
- Official Digital Safety Diploma for your child — real certificate, real ceremony
- WizeGen Family Pack — stickers, surprises
- Food, drinks, and good conversation with other Amsterdam families
- Optional 30% off WizeGen's 1-Year Membership (€299 value) — full access to 20+ real-world safety scenarios
Total value: €236. Cost to you: €0.
Who this is for
Parents of children aged 8 to 15 who want their family to navigate the online world with confidence; not fear, not surveillance, not blanket bans. One or both parents welcome. Bring your child.
The event runs in English.
Why now
Many years of scientific research now shows what smartphones are doing to a generation. The conclusion is uncomfortable, and most parents don't know where to start.
We bring this research to life. Your child won't just hear about online risks. They'll be challened with real scenarios, make real decisions, and build real instincts in a gamified way in a simulated sandbox. You'll see how prepared they actually are versus how prepared you think they are.
Then you'll leave with a plan you both agreed on.
