Raised by Algorithms explores the world young people are growing up in, and what that means for those working alongside them. Drawing on frontline practice and research, this session reframes youth behaviour as adaptation to cultural and digital conditons rather than individual pathology.

Designed for youth music practitioners, creative facilitators and sector leaders, the session combines a sharp 20-25 minute provocation with guided discussion grounded in real practice.

You’ll leave with language for what you’re already witnessing, a clearer understanding of the forces shaping young people today, and practical reflections on pace, trust and relational posture in music spaces.
