A Real Threat: Digital Amnesia

Digital Amnesia: experience of forgetting information that you trust a digital device to store and remember for you. Do you think there is something goes wrong?

Digital Amnesia: the experience of forgetting information that you trust a digital device to store and remember for you. The study from Kaspersky Lab, a cybersecurity firm, says that people have become accustomed to using computer devices as an "extension" of their own brain. It describes the rise of what it calls "digital amnesia", in which people are ready to forget important information in the belief that it can be immediately retrieved from a digital device.

Of course we need computers, tablets and all other digital devices to facilitate our lives. But do you think there is something goes wrong? Do you also believe that the people playing with their mobiles rather than to talk to each other?

If you say so, please keep in touch with us to have a “mobile diet”. This youth exchange will contact you each other and provides a healthy communication.

Youth exchange will take place in Manisa (40 km to İzmir), Turkey with 36 young people (5 young people for each organization aged between 18-30 years old + 1 leader). Half of the participants should carry fewer opportunities (economic, cultural, social or geographical).

Mobility Dates
24 September – 1 October 2016 (including travel dates)

Please send us your signed mandate and partner identification form. Partners will be selected at the end of the month and we will keep you updated.
