What is TechWell Project?

A practical European approach to digital citizenship, balanced technology use and wellbeing in schools

Digital technologies have transformed teaching, learning, communication and everyday school life. Alongside new opportunities, they also raise challenges related to digital citizenship, responsible communication, cyber safety, inclusion, balanced technology use and the mental and physical wellbeing of school communities. TechWell project brings together public authorities, universities, pedagogical institutions, educational organisations, EdTech actors and school communities to share practices, co-design solutions and test a whole-school approach across three connected pilot areas: Digital Citizenship and Responsible Communication; Productivity, Digital Learning and Balanced Technology; and Mental and Physical Health, Digital Disconnection and Whole-Community Wellbeing. The project translates these areas into practical strategies, implementation guidance and educational resources for schools across six European countries.
