Third places are public spaces where people find familiarity - where you are able to socialize, meet new people, and practice broader and more creative interaction.  With the horizon of the digital age, third spaces for young people moved online - from Webkinz to MySpace to TikTok.

Welcome to FRIENDS IN THIRD PLACES, where we’ll discuss the evolution of online third places - the past, the present, and the future. Hear from sociologists and developers, who will weigh in on the question: What comes next? And how do we keep children’s spaces safe?
