Nelli Kongshaug is project manager for the Red Cross helpline for children and youth in Norway, and has been working there since 2007. She is interested in the voice of youth and in giving young people space for speech and to be listened to.
Nelli travels around Norway speaking to both children and adults about online issues, focusing on both sides of the use of technology and how it affects day-to-day life.
By moderating forum threads on the helpline webpage, the ‘harmful but not illegal’ aspect is present every day in Nelli’s work. Is it possible to make guidelines for content online, and will they work? And how can we work with young people to find good solutions? These are just some of the questions which Nelli is nterested in.
