Features: The progress of the times has brought about the popularization of internet technology. The internet era has provided young people with diverse, interactive, and multimedia social interaction opportunities, greatly extending and expanding their social activity space. However, we also see that internet addiction and harmful internet culture resulting from excessive indulgence in the internet have had negative impacts on young people, posing a significant adverse effect on their healthy development and even on social progress. This conference is a beneficial attempt for youth organizations and relevant research institutions in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore to exchange ideas and carry out cooperation. It serves as a tangible platform for experts, scholars, and youth workers from the three regions to brainstorm and showcase their strengths. Moreover, it is an effective way for youth organizations in the three regions to deepen mutual understanding and strengthen friendships. By compiling and publishing the theoretical research results of this conference, we must ensure that it guides young people to scientifically understand and properly use the internet during their growth. At the same time, it will further enhance friendly exchanges and beneficial cooperation among youth organizations in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore, promoting the development of related work and the healthy growth of young people.
