We are the generation that grew up online, now we’re guiding the next gen through it.
FlippGen is a youth-led organisation tackling digital wellbeing through lived experience. We empower Gen Z to speak directly to younger children, parents, educators and policymakers, bringing a perspective that is both relevant and credible.
Through school programmes, youth-led content and campaigns, and direct engagement with policy and media, not only do we help young people navigate the digital world, but also shape what comes next.

Working together with charities and youth organisations to promote digital wellbeing and online safety.

Three ways we're flipping the script.
FlippGen isn't just a movement, we operate on three fronts at once in order to make impactful change. Education that reaches kids, regulation that changes platforms, and conversation that moves the culture.
-
Education
At FlippGen, we believe education is absolutely essential to ensure young people are equipped to deal with the challenges that the digital world presents. We have developed a digital toolkit to help young people navigate the online world. It is effectively “what we wish we had known before we got a phone”.
-
Regulation
FlippGen campaigns for stronger regulation to make the digital world a safer place. We believe in strength in numbers and it is clear that many young people share a vision for improving the regulation of AI and social media platforms for young people. This is why we set up For Us, a youth-led coalition, bringing together organisations and individuals who are passionate about empowering the next generation.
-
Conversation
At FlippGen, we believe that conversations are imperative to making the digital world a better place, and to empower young people to build healthy relationships. Whether that is conversations between Gen-Z and Gen-A, or between our rebels and politicians, we believe talking about the issues are the first step in solving them. One of the ways we have conversations, is through our podcast, Flipp The Script.

A new generation, empowered, not lectured.
Digital Intelligenz is our flagship peer-led education programme aimed at 9–13 year olds, empowering the next generation (Gen-A) to build healthier digital habits and thrive online.
Delivered by trained school mentors, our workshops tackle smartphone overuse, social media pressure, mental wellbeing, and digital literacy, all while building critical thinking and resilience for the digital world.
Five modules. One Rebel mindset.
Every workshop is designed, tested and delivered by young people. We give schools the complete kit - slides, facilitator guides, activities, and training - so it's turnkey from day one.
Digital Wellbeing - screens, sleep, dopamine and offline joy
Safety & Privacy - what to share, what to lock down, who to trust
Social Media - the real story behind the feed
AI & Chatbots - chatbots, companions, hallucinations and future careers
Critical Thinking - spotting fake news, deepfakes and algorithms
Screen Time Calculator
The average GEN-A spends 7.5 hrs a day on screens 📱 - that’s over 21 years of their life lost to tech 🤯
