Meta has launched Digital Dialogue IRL, a free interactive experience designed to help teens, parents, educators, and community stakeholders have conversations about online safety, social media habits, and digital wellbeing.

In a statement on Thursday, Meta said the experience is open to the public at Temasek Shophouse, Singapore, from June 25 to July 31, 2026.

Featuring visual conversation cards, guided prompts, and interactive touchpoints, the experience brings everyday digital scenarios to life, including screen time, social comparison, feed control, peer pressure, cyberbullying, and healthy online-offline boundaries.

It also can educate parents and teens about safety features built into Teen Accounts across Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger, which introduced default protections inspired by 13+ movie ratings earlier this year. As a result, teens see content similar to an age-appropriate movie and cannot opt out without parental permission.

Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State for the Ministry of Digital Development and Information and the Ministry of Health, said keeping young people safe online requires government, industry, schools, and families working together. Initiatives such as Digital Dialogue IRL can help young people develop their own judgement through honest conversations with trusted adults, the minister highlighted.

Clara Koh, Director of Public Policy for Central Southeast Asia and ASEAN at Meta, said the initiative, developed in support of the national Digital for Life movement, creates a space for open conversations. It works best when paired with platform protections such as the new 13+ content settings, the executive added.

The launch drew on pilot workshops with 304 students at two Singapore secondary schools. Teens who participated were 19 percentage points more likely to say they understood the safety tools on their Instagram Teen Account, with familiarity rising from 52 percent to 71 percent. The pilot also found that 69 percent of students agreed the sessions enabled honest conversations about social media, while 72 percent of educators said the illustrations helped students engage with complex topics and 61 percent intended to use the resource in future teaching.
