About the project
Description
In this project we are going to give our students strategies for balancing their lives and keeping mentally healthy in the digital era. We want to emphasise the positive aspects of digitalisation by encouraging students to collaborate, communicate, think critically and creatively, but also address the risks involved
Objective
Our approach is holistic; each country will focus on one aspect of how to promote well-being while incorporating digitalisation into their lives. Our project aims to prevent mental illness due to overuse of digital devices and screen time. Our objective is to find an answer to the question: How can we balance our lives in a digital world?
