This workshop is part of the Commission's commitment to launch a review of the current self-regulatory framework in the field of online child safety and
to foster multi-stakeholder dialogue. The Commission strongly believes in the involvement of all interested stakeholders in this process. Therefore, this
workshop aims at creating a forum for discussions where all interested parties can share their views and suggestions on what they see as new developments
and challenges brought about by changing patters of technology use by children, as well as on how these could be best responded to in order to ensure the
empowerment and protection of minors when using new technologies.

As part of its committment to keep youngsters safe when using their services and devices, industry has produced a draft document "Principles for the safer
use of connected devices and on-line services by children" and has agreed for the Commission to distribute it to the participants of the "Every European
child safe online" workshop as baseline for discussions. You will find this document attached to the email.

Please note that the draft Principles is a document that belongs to industry and any questions regarding the document as well as its distribution beyond
the participants in this workshop should be addressed to Damir Filipovic at Damir.Filipovic@digitaleurope.org

Workshop organization

In order to allow all participants to express their views on the review of the current self-regulatory framework and the industry initiative, the
programme of the workshop includes 8 working groups where participants are expected to actively participate in discussions. The World Café Methodology
will be used, allowing participants to rotate twice among the 8 groups (each rotation will last 30 minutes). Each group will be moderated by a host
appointed by the Commission, who will not rotate in order to ensure continuity and coherence in discussions.

The workshop will be ruled by the Chatham House Rule. When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use
the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.

Expected output

At the end of the 2 rotations, each group host will have to deliver a minimum of 6 concrete suggestions that emerged from the discussions regarding
measures that could be successfully implemented by industry (either already included or missing from the current draft Principles) and/or options for
monitoring the implementation of the agreement.

In order for the group host to be able to provide this input, your active participation in the working groups will be essential.

A plenary debate involving all participants will follow on basis of conclusions of each working group.
