Kids: Metasocialising: how we connect today

What does GenZ want? A conversation with representatives of this mysterious generation, which gives us an opportunity to look through their lens on how they connect with peers through rapidly progressing media and gaming networks. With parents staying loyal to older networks like Facebook and WhatsApp, young people have found spaces of their own to connect including Snapchat and Discord as well as various gaming platforms. These platforms offer community and connection but also expose young people to real risks and dangers. Hear from young panelists about the obstacles that remain a baggage of virtual networks. Speakers: Ameera Adil Khawaja, Haajrah Baksh, Anaya Shafiq & Fawaz Elahi Moderator: Hiba Khan
