The ‘Digital Harmony: Bridging Generations for Well-being in Education’ project aims to address the pressing need to enhance digital well-being within school communities, especially in the context of today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape. Both students and teachers are increasingly facing significant challenges, including the need for improved digital literacy, maintaining online safety, and achieving a balanced use of technology.
Recognising that these challenges extend beyond any single generation, the project proposes an intergenerational approach that leverages the rich experiences and perspectives of older generations. Through engaging grandparents and senior adults in after-school projects, and teachers and senior adults in capacity-building workshops, Digital Harmony project partners aim to foster mutual learning and support between younger and older participants.
The underlying rationale is that the integration of digital well-being into educational practices can be achieved more effectively through the creation of sustainable frameworks and programmes. Integrating digital well-being into primary and secondary school curricula across Europe is challenging due to the already packed schedules dictated by national education authorities. Through comprehensive research, practical training, and innovative solution development, Digital Harmony aims to create a positive and inclusive digital learning experience, empowering individuals across generations to navigate the digital world safely and effectively.
The first meeting face-to-face of the project took place on 28th of May 2025 in the premises of UGT-PV, located in Valencia (Spain). All partners participated in this event, introducing themselves and their organisations, starting a discussion on project development and fixing deadlines for the next tasks to be done. The next face-to-face meeting will take place in Cyprus on 18th of November 2025.
