#Etmaal2025 has ended—what an incredible edition! With 500+ participants, great talks, and a beautiful setting, it was truly unforgettable. Huge thanks to everyone who joined and made it special, and a big shout-out to @etmaal2025.bsky.social for hosting it so seamlessly! 🫶🏻

Thank you to all division members for attending the NeFCA breakfast in such great numbers! Now ready for the second panel session of the day with a fantastic view. #etmaal2025 @dougaparry.bsky.social

The final #mediapsychology parallel session featured some highly complementary presentations exploring the blurring of online and offline lives of children and adolescents. Our minds are certainly nourished for the day. Looking forward to continuing the conversation over dinner!

Parallel session 2 is a wrap as well. 🍰A recurring theme was the omnipresence of (unhealthy) foods on social media. 🌱🥦 Yet the speakers sparked plenty of fresh ideas on how to foster healthier online environments for children, adolescents, and parents. #etmaal2025
