NEED / PROBLEM
- Rising Digital Addiction Among Youth
- Low Digital Literacy & Awareness
- Gap Between Education & Digital Reality
- Online Safety Risks
- Unbalanced Digital-Life Integration
The DigRight project aims to develop a digital, innovative, and interactive tool (App) to assist teachers in preventing, identifying, and addressing digital addictions. It also seeks to enhance digital skills by leveraging the DigComp framework, empowering students to become digitally competent through engaging, gamified real-life scenarios.
The App will be supplemented by an Educational Kit, containing resources (lesson plans, activities and guides) for teachers in order to help them incorporate it into a real classroom setting.
By providing targeted, practical content on this topic, the project will raise awareness about the responsible use of technology and its potential risks—starting with teachers and extending to their students.
