TALES 2.0 aims to transform 30 direct young participants from passive digital consumers into active cultural creators, addressing the digital wellness crisis affecting European youth while preserving cultural heritage. From a youth work perspective, our objectives are: - Address "digital saturation syndrome" affecting 96% of European youth through evidence-based intervention reducing problematic smartphone use by 25% during the 10-day exchange - Develop digital literacy skills using AI-enhanced storytelling tools (Adobe Firefly, Canva AI Magic Studio, DaVinci Resolve) to create 30+ cultural heritage assets documenting traditions from 6 partner countries - Increase cultural knowledge and engagement by 80% through hands-on workshops including Portuguese "Carrinhos de pau" construction, traditional dance exchanges, and environmental sustainability practices - Foster intercultural competencies through structured daily reflections using Hart's Ladder Participation framework, ensuring genuine youth decision-making throughout the entire project implementation - Build healthier relationships with technology through the "Mindful Tech Toolkit" development, teaching trigger identification, mapping and dopamine framework understanding to combat smartphone addiction - Strengthen European identity through collaborative heritage documentation demonstrating "United in Diversity" while addressing loneliness crisis affecting 13% of Europeans - Empower participants as digital wellness ambassadors organizing local multiplier events reaching 150+ additional youth across partner countries using D.E.O.R dissemination framework The project aims to transform digital challenges into cultural preservation opportunities led by youth, creating lasting behavioral change while strengthening cultural engagement among European youth.
