This eTwinning project aims at empowering students to take control of their use of digital technology using the internet and social media in a more critical and responsible way while getting to know the main dangers they can experience online. The project won the 2022 European prize for eTwinning projects for pupils aged between 12-15 years.

In this project, students produce posters about internet safety, discuss their life in apps and work with the novel The Disconnect. Students reflect about their own digital lives and if they can disconnect from technology. As a result, students become more mindful of threats and opportunities that the digital devices in their pockets present, and how to be able to disconnect from the virtual world at least for a short time to reconsider the positive aspects of face-to-face relationships.
