KA 152 - From Overload to Awareness: Digital Wellness for Youth

Conceptual Idea
From Overload to Awareness: Digital Wellness for Youth
Programme type: Erasmus+ KA152 – Youth Exchange
Duration: 7 activity days + 2 travel days
Participants: 24 young people (4 countries x 6 participants – 5 youth participants + 1 group leader per country)
Age group: 18–25 (youth participants)

1. Project Purpose
The project aims to support young people in developing practical competencies, reflective capacity, and value-based approaches for maintaining digital well-being in everyday life. At an operational level, the exchange is designed as a progressive learning journey, moving from awareness and self-observation toward experimentation, co-creation, and personal action planning.

2. Pedagogical Logic
The programme follows a non-formal education approach based on:
- experiential learning
- peer learning and intercultural exchange
- reflection and self-assessment
- creative and participatory methods

Activities are structured to gradually deepen understanding, avoid pathologising digital behaviour, and empower participants to make informed and autonomous choices.

3. Learning Outcomes
Participants are expected to:
- increase awareness of their own digital habits
- strengthen self-regulation and reflection skills
- understand the link between digital behaviour and well-being
- develop values-based approaches to digital participation
- enhance intercultural understanding and peer support

4. Added Value of the Exchange Format
The residential, intercultural format enables deep reflection, peer learning, and experimentation in a safe environment, allowing participants to step outside their habitual digital routines.
