Be SMART in a SMART world

The main goal of "Be SMART in  a SMART world" training course is to enrich youth workers withknowledge and methods around digital hygiene and responsible use of the Internet, smartphones and other screen tools, remembering that currently they play key role to an individual's well- being but also have direct impact to competencies identified as key in the labor market as problem-solving, creativity, innovation, analytical and critical thinking, active learning and teaching, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, intercultural competencies.

The training will help to a raise digital literacy and build digital citizenship attitude. It will help to understand, participate, and benefit more from digital innovations, AI transformation on labor market and address their ethical and social implications.

As we know from recent research: people who overuse screens are particularly vulnerable to deficiencies of concentrations and are less resistant to polarization mechanisms. Implementing digital hygiene rules helps to stabilize the brain’s reward system. During our training we will try to find the answer why do the Internet and smartphone affect the results of study, work and our relationships. We will try to answer the question: How can we ensure that the Internet and social media do not harm our well-being and become our ally in fulfilling our careers.
