Develop the Digital Wellbeing Suite
Combine strategy, implementation guidance, school-level tools and educational resources into one coherent framework.
TechWell project turns European policy experimentation into a supported school-improvement process, connecting strategy, practical action and evidence from real educational settings.
Digital wellbeing is not only about screen time. Digital technologies influence almost every part of school life: learning, communication, relationships, attention, safety, workload and wellbeing. While they create important opportunities, schools often manage their effects through separate rules, isolated activities or individual teacher initiatives.
TechWell project addresses this gap through a structured policy experimentation process built on cross-sectoral collaboration and an International Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue. Public authorities, universities, pedagogical institutions, educational organisations, EdTech actors and school communities co-design, test and refine practical solutions in real educational settings across six countries.
The whole-school approach connects leadership decisions, teaching routines, student voice, family communication and support procedures. Schools start from their own context, choose realistic priorities, test practical routines and review what improved.
To support schools in building healthier, safer, more inclusive and purposeful digital environments by equipping them with practical strategies, guidance, tools and educational resources for whole-school improvement.
The following points translate the project objectives and Work Package structure into a concise, public-facing overview.
Combine strategy, implementation guidance, school-level tools and educational resources into one coherent framework.
Bring together education authorities, public institutions, universities, research organisations, pedagogical bodies, schools, civil society, EdTech actors, teachers, students and families to share practices, identify needs and gaps, co-design practical solutions and build a lasting international community around digital wellbeing in education.
Produce multilingual guides, lesson resources, videos and interactive materials for use in schools.
Pilot the Digital Wellbeing Suite in diverse school contexts and use feedback, monitoring and impact evidence to improve it.
Develop recommendations, partnerships and long-term pathways for continued use beyond the pilot period.
Each stage provides evidence and inputs for the next.
Identify needs, map existing practices and involve key stakeholders through International Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue.
Develop the Digital Wellbeing Suite, implementation guidance and educational resources.
Test the approach in schools, collect evidence and refine the tools.
Translate findings into recommendations and pathways for wider adoption.
TechWell supports education systems while providing practical value for the school communities that test, apply and benefit from the whole-school approach.
These audiences use project evidence, implementation lessons and recommendations to support decision-making, system development and wider uptake.
Use project evidence and implementation lessons to inform policy development and wider uptake.
Connect pilot experience with national priorities, guidance and education-system development.
Support the adaptation of project tools, professional learning and practical school implementation.
Contribute analysis and evidence for future policy, implementation guidance and practice.
These groups participate in, apply or benefit directly from the whole-school approach and the practical resources of the Digital Wellbeing Suite.
Set direction, create the conditions for implementation and connect digital wellbeing with school strategy.
Use practical classroom activities, routines and guidance without adding unnecessary workload.
Learn to participate online responsibly, focus more effectively and protect their mental and physical wellbeing.
Receive practical language and home routines that support consistency between school and family life.
Supports safeguarding, inclusion, wellbeing, student voice and communication across the school community.
The project also engages universities, research organisations, EdTech organisations, civil society actors and other partners that support inclusive, responsible and sustainable digital education.
