TechWell is a European Policy Experimentation Project funded through Erasmus+. It co-designs, tests and refines a whole-school approach to digital citizenship, balanced technology use and digital wellbeing across six European countries.
The project connects policy, research and school practice to support healthier, safer and more inclusive digital education.
Digital wellbeing is the ability to use digital technologies in ways that support learning, health, safety, participation and healthy relationships. It includes both the benefits of technology and the need for balance, appropriate boundaries and responsible use.
The Digital Wellbeing Suite, or DWS, is TechWell’s core practical framework and set of resources for schools. It brings together strategic guidance, practical steps, self-assessment, educational materials and tools that schools can adapt to their own context.
The DWS is being tested and refined through cross-country school piloting before its finalisation and wider use.
The DWS is designed for the whole school community: students, teachers, school leaders, parents and families, education professionals and community partners. Different parts of the Suite may be used by different groups.
A whole-school approach means that digital wellbeing is not treated as a single lesson or isolated activity. It is connected to school leadership, teaching, student support, family engagement, school policies, staff development and everyday school culture.
Participating schools will test the Digital Wellbeing Suite as an integrated whole-school approach. The process includes an initial assessment of the school context, engagement of relevant members of the school community, use and adaptation of practical tools and educational materials, development of school-level priorities and actions, and structured feedback on implementation.
The evidence collected during piloting will be used to refine the DWS and inform recommendations for wider uptake.
No. The project’s role is to support schools, not to inspect or rank them. The aim is continuous improvement. Schools use the DWS to understand their current situation, identify priorities and plan realistic next steps.
Yes. The DWS is intended to provide a shared framework while allowing school-level and country-specific adaptation. Schools differ in size, age groups, infrastructure, policies, culture and existing practice, so flexibility is essential.
The Educational Materials are practical learning resources developed for use in schools. They support teachers and other school stakeholders in addressing digital wellbeing through structured activities, guidance and adaptable content.
The A1–C2 labels are DigCompEdu-inspired reference points that help educators navigate the materials and choose an appropriate starting point. They reflect different stages of professional experience and confidence but do not represent a separate TechWell qualification, certification or formal proficiency assessment.
Teachers may move between levels and select the resources most relevant to their own context.
Yes. TechWell educational resources are being made available in multiple partner-country languages so that schools can use them more easily in their own national and local context.
Educational resources published through the TechWell website are freely accessible to schools and education stakeholders. Reuse, adaptation and redistribution conditions may differ between resources, so users should check the licence or reuse information provided on the relevant page or document.
Sensitive project deliverables are listed for transparency but are not available for public download.
Teachers and school leaders are treated as active partners in the process. They contribute practical knowledge, help identify needs, test resources, adapt activities and provide feedback that improves the final DWS.
Families are an important part of digital wellbeing because school and home practices are closely connected. TechWell supports family engagement through guidance, communication, awareness activities and resources that encourage consistent and balanced digital habits.
A Digital Wellbeing Roadmap is a school-specific plan that identifies priorities, actions, responsibilities, resources and milestones. It helps turn discussion and self-assessment into practical change.
The Charter is a shared commitment to values and practical goals related to digital wellbeing. It can help bring together school leaders, teachers, students, families and external partners around a common direction.
TechWell will combine quantitative and qualitative evidence. This includes information on participation and implementation, use of project resources, feedback from schools and stakeholders, baseline and follow-up findings, and evidence of changes in school practices and the adoption of DWS elements.
The purpose is to understand what works, under what conditions and what should be improved before wider uptake.
The International Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue is TechWell’s structured framework for involving education authorities, schools, universities, pedagogical institutions, civil society, EdTech actors, teachers, students and families.
It supports the exchange of practices, identification of needs and gaps, co-design of practical solutions and long-term cooperation around digital wellbeing in education.
