TechWell project is conceived within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme’s Policy Experimentation call, particularly aligned with Priority 2: Digital Well-being.
The project focuses on driving experimentation for digital wellbeing policy to enhance digital well-being in educational context. It is a collaborative effort among multiple stakeholders, including educational ministries, foundations, pedagogical institute and association, edtech clusters, and universities across several European countries, to build an open community for sharing best practices and solutions, co-design and pilot digital wellbeing policy. The rationale for the TechWell project is grounded in the necessity to address digital healthcare and wellbeing in schools.
The main objective of the TechWell project is to create a supportive digital education environment that enhances wellbeing by equipping schools with the necessary strategies, guidelines, tools and knowledge to thrive in the digital age and provide high quality and inclusive digital education.
WP1 focuses on overseeing the overall project, ensuring effective operational management, establishing governance structures, managing risks, and maintaining quality standards. It serves as the foundational framework for the entire project.
WP2 is dedicated to planning and executing the design and development of the Digital Wellbeing Suite. It involves conceptualising the suite, conducting needs assessments, developing policies and educational materials, and pre-planning for experimentation and implementation.
WP3 involves the experimentation phase of the DWS across multiple countries. It includes pilot implementation and field testing, gathering user feedback for iterative enhancement, developing a scaling strategy, and identifying synergies with relevant EU initiatives and projects.
WP4 focuses on assessing the impact of the DWS and implementing continuous improvements. Tasks include conducting multi-ecosystem demonstrations, analysing and evaluating results, optimising the DWS's processes, and conducting long-term impact assessments.
WP5 involves disseminating project findings and generating outreach activities. Tasks include developing a communications, outreach, and dissemination plan, creating visual identity and communication channels, and executing dissemination campaigns targeting teachers, students, parents, and policymakers.
