Should we ban social media for under 16s in the UAE?

Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Wednesday, 17 June 2026 - 1 hour 30 minutes

We're getting valuable insights from Dr. Alison Burrows, technology and wellbeing consultant, and Yasmin Carey, an influencer and content creator - they're on opposite ends of the argument. 


Plus - we're getting to know the communities that you could join if you need a safe space:
UNMUTE for mothers, Living Room Theatre, and The Expression Lab. 


And finally, would you let AI choose your life partner? Sara Al Madani and Mohamed Amine Belarby have created a platform called Soulsearch.ai - which they're calling "Love is Blind" in an app. 


They've also created LoveHelp.ai - an AI therapist platform.
