Abstract
Societies are becoming more and more dependent on digital technologies. Digital devices are part of our everyday life, from work to our free-time activities and even while we rest or sleep. Additionally, the pandemic crisis has multiplied our reliance on digital technologies and as a result society is becoming increasingly digitized. In this context, it is crucial not to ignore our health or the impact the tech we use has on the environment. It is essential for the youth to be fully aware of the environmental and the psychological well-being risks that we often neglect, to be able to resolve different tasks and problems, guide others, and apply knowledge independently. BeWEEN aims to tackle the local, national and European problem of the students’ safety, in terms of health-related risks associated with the use of digital technology and devices, and the negative impact on the environment from the use of digital devices. BeWEEN project aims to develop competences of proficiency levels up to 7 and promote “smart habits” for tech-smart High School Teachers and students. Training material will be designed in alignment with the Competences 4.3 “Protecting health and well-being” and 4.4 “Protecting the environment “, from Area 4 “Safety” of the EU Digital Competence Framework (DigComp). In doing so, the project will develop and test learning tools which will empower high school teachers and students against health- andenvironmental- risks and threats through meaningful and comprehensive formal and informal education. The expected results of the project are both tangible re-usable outputs/tools for high school teachers and students as well as increased teachers’ competence and skills required for distance teaching.
