Mind Over Screens - Empowering Youth in the Digital World

Description

The COVID-19 crisis has had a significant impact on education, accelerating the digital transformation of teaching and learning. Digitalization has provided endless opportunities for young people, including access to information and communication. However, it has also introduced new risks and challenges that could potentially harm their mental and emotional wellbeing, making it crucial to address these issues as soon as possible. As a result, it has become more important than ever to equip young people with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the digital world.Moreover, the 2024 Erasmus+ Programme Guide highlights the need for more emphasis on digital skills and the use of ICT tools in education. All of this underscores the need for continued efforts to promote digital literacy and healthy digital habits among young people to ensure that they use digital tools in a safe and responsible manner.To address the needs of youth workers and young people in the wake of the digital transition, the Mind Over Screens project was created by six partner organizations from Italy, Slovakia, Finland, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Albania, building upon the aspects and researches discussed earlier. The project aims to build and expand the capacity of all partner organizations from program and partner countries, especially youth workers, trainers, educators and teachers, through the development of a training course with the use of gamification methods about social media influence, media literacy and digital habits among young people. The training will be supported by creation of handbook and set of interactive tools and games, that will support youth workers with game-based elements in their activities for young people. The project’s goal is also to raise awareness on the topic among young people in partner and other European countries about the social media influence, media literacy and digital habits through creations of the podcast and social campaign.
