Empowering Schools: Balancing Digital Life and Social Engagement (KA210 SCH.)

The primary aim of this project is to bring together students with social adjustment problems caused by smartphone dependency and share the most attractive engaging activities in cross-boarding mobilities with each other. When the literature is reviewed, it is seen that feelings of loneliness and antisociality are seen as factors that push a person towards smartphone addiction, while sometimes they come to the fore as the results of it. In order to help these students overcome the difficulties in actively engaging and participating in their communities and in the EU’s political and social life, the project aims to build engaging, connecting, cultivating and nourishing schools because the schools are the environments where students spend considerable time during their stages of development and we are aware that only in such schools we can foster social responsibility in individuals. Pushing them to take an active role in school activities will also develop their competence in taking active roles in wider communities. At this aspect, while the project supports the priority “Promoting welbeing at school”, it will also foster acquisition of common values, the civic engagement and participation in the community, horizontally.
