Growing Up Online: The Hidden Risks | ft. Sourav Sinha | Intersect Virtual Festival

In the first session of the Intersect Virtual Festival, we were joined by Mr. Sourav Sinha, Headmaster of Mayo College Ajmer, for a timely and thought-provoking conversation on one of the most important challenges facing educators today. As technology becomes an inseparable part of students' lives, schools are increasingly navigating questions around digital wellbeing, online behaviour, screen dependency, cyber safety, and the role of education in helping young people develop healthy digital habits. In this session, Mr. Sinha shares valuable perspectives on: • The hidden challenges of growing up in a hyper-connected world • Digital wellbeing and responsible technology use • The evolving role of schools and educators • Building resilience, awareness, and critical thinking among students • Preparing young people for the opportunities and risks of the digital age Whether you are a school leader, educator, counsellor, parent, or student, this conversation offers practical insights into one of the defining educational issues of our time.
