These days, children and adolescents are growing up in a world shaped by digital spaces, from classrooms to social networks and gaming platforms. While technology offers great opportunities for learning and connection, it also presents risks such as cyberbullying, screen overuse, and exposure to harmful content.
How can schools help create safer, healthier digital environments?
The new Schools4Health policy brief Navigating Education and Wellbeing in the Digital Age explores how the hashtag#HealthPromotingSchools approach can help education systems address these challenges. The HPS approach connects health and education actors to promote healthy screen use, digital literacy, and emotional resilience through whole-school engagement.
Developed by EuroHealthNet and partners, the brief calls for collaboration between schools, families, policymakers, and digital stakeholders to create safer, more inclusive online environments that support children’s wellbeing and learning.
