Baseline Analysis
A structured review of a school’s current digital wellbeing situation before actions are planned.
Clear explanations of the TechWell project, the Digital Wellbeing Suite, school piloting, educational materials and the key terms used across the project.
Use the frequently asked questions for practical answers, or browse the glossary for short definitions of important project concepts.
These answers are written for schools, teachers, school leaders, families, education professionals and other project stakeholders.
TechWell is an Erasmus+ Policy Experimentation project focused on digital wellbeing in education. It brings together research, policy and school practice to help schools create healthier, more balanced and inclusive digital learning environments.
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 the central TechWell output. It brings together strategic guidance, practical steps, self-assessment, educational materials and tools that schools can adapt to their own context.
The DWS is currently being developed and refined before and during school piloting.
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 explore and test the DWS as an integrated system. This may include an initial needs analysis, school discussions, use of educational materials, development of a school-specific roadmap and feedback on what works well or needs improvement.
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 indicate progressive competence levels. They help users select resources that match different levels of experience and confidence, from introductory use to more advanced and strategic application.
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.
The project is designed to provide open and accessible resources for schools and education stakeholders. Any specific reuse conditions should be checked on the relevant resource or download page.
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.
Progress may be examined through participation data, use of resources, school feedback, satisfaction, evidence of behaviour change, adoption of DWS elements and other qualitative and quantitative indicators.
