Young people today are growing up in a reality where being online is no longer a choice, but a constant condition. Recent studies show that young people spend on average around 7–9 hours per day in front of screens, with social media and messaging apps being checked dozens, sometimes hundreds of times daily. At the same time, research links excessive screen time with increased levels of stress, anxiety, reduced concentration, sleep problems, and lower emotional well-being. From a youth work perspective, these numbers are not abstract data, but realities we observe every day in youth centres, schools, and international exchanges. Many young people feel overwhelmed, distracted, and under constant pressure to be available, yet they rarely have spaces where they can slow down, reflect, and talk openly about their digital lives. This project responds directly to this gap by creating a safe, supportive environment where young people can critically reflect on their digital habits and experiment with healthier ways of being online. The objectives of the project are: • to raise awareness among young people about their own digital habits and daily online behaviour • to help participants understand the impact of constant connectivity on mental health, focus and emotional well-being • to strengthen critical thinking towards social media, algorithms and online content • to support young people in developing healthier and more conscious digital routines • to improve concentration, presence and offline communication skills • to promote digital well-being without rejecting or demonizing technology • to empower young people to speak openly about online pressure, comparison and expectations • to equip participants with practical tools and non-formal methods they can use after the exchange • to encourage participants to transfer their learning into local follow-up actions and peer-led initiatives IThe project aims to move beyond awareness alone and support real, lasting change in young people’s everyday lives. By combining reflection, non-formal learning, peer exchange, and practical experimentation, the project helps young people regain a sense of control over their attention, emotions, and time. The exchange serves as a starting point for long-term impact, enabling participants to apply what they learn in their communities and contribute to healthier digital cultures within youth work practice.
