About this Event
Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth's 2025 Children’s Advocacy Days theme, Navigating the Digital Frontier: Empowering Children & Youth for a Bright Future, will explore innovative ways to positively impact the lives of children and youth in our ever-evolving digital era. This year’s theme will provide critical insights into equipping young people with the skills, resources, and resilience needed to thrive in a tech and artificial intelligence-driven world. Today, children and youth face growing challenges with devices and AI, including managing screen time, navigating online safety, and grappling with the ethical and emotional complexities of AI in their daily lives.
Children’s Advocacy Days serves as a network of ideas, bringing together children’s advocates who recognize the immense opportunities and unprecedented challenges that children and youth face today. CAD is not just an opportunity to share knowledge and expertise; it’s a call to action. By the end of this event, we believe attendees will leave inspired and equipped with practical strategies to continue to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children and youth. Together, let’s chart a path toward a brighter future, where technology serves as a powerful tool for education, empowerment, and opportunity for every child.
