About the event:

 

As digital tools become deeply embedded in everyday life, they influence not only how we work, learn, and communicate, but also how we feel, behave, and relate to others. While digitalisation brings enormous opportunities, it also raises important questions around wellbeing, inclusion, safety, and rights.

 

The launch event of All Digital Weeks 2026 sets the stage for this year’s campaign by focusing on a core message: digital well-being for a competitive Europe. Healthy digital habits empower people to participate meaningfully and confidently in digital society.

 

This session will open a shared reflection on how individuals, educators, learning providers, and policymakers can work together to support healthier, safer, and more inclusive digital participation across Europe.

Discussion topics:

 

  • Digital wellbeing, inclusion, and meaningful participation
  • Safety, rights, and trust in digital environments
  • AI, autonomy, and policy approaches to digital wellbeing
