Action to protect children from digital harms

A classroom phone ban alone is not enough – children need to learn about the risks of mobile devices, and the city should do more to protect them.

Speech at the Vantaa City Council, February 2026. English summary – the original speech is in Finnish.

A phone ban in the classroom is not enough on its own. Children need protection from harmful content and from device dependency – also in traffic, when their eyes are on a screen.

  • Teaching about the risks and dangers of mobile devices
  • More traditional teaching methods
  • The city should look into how children can be protected better
