Webinar “Connected but calm: psychological strategies for healthy digital lives in the school environment”

Maintaining a healthy and balanced relationship with media and technology is essential for children’s well-being. Digital tools are now embedded in almost every part of young people’s daily lives, shaping how they learn, communicate, socialise, relax and play.

Schools across Europe increasingly rely on digital tools to support teaching, collaboration and access to information, creating new opportunities for participation, creativity and inclusion, but at the same time, the growing presence of digital technologies in education and social life has raised important questions about students’ psychological well-being.

Schools therefore play a key role in supporting digital well-being. Beyond regulating device use, they can promote healthy digital habits, encourage reflection and foster supportive environments. A whole-school approach is particularly important, as digital well-being emerges from the interaction between students, teachers, leadership, families and institutional practices rather than from individual behavior alone.

Building on this work, the proposed webinar seeks to explore the psychological dimension of digital well-being through a dialogue between experts and young people’s lived experiences. The session aims to support educators and school leaders in understanding how digital practices affect learning, relationships and well-being, and how schools can translate awareness into collective reflection and action.
