About the course

This course places digital citizenship and well being at its core, supporting teachers in guiding students toward responsible, ethical, and safe participation in today’s online world. Participants will explore key themes such as digital identity, online wellbeing, media literacy, cyber safety, respectful digital behaviour, healthy technology use, digital habits, and stress management.

Using active, student centred learning approaches, teachers will reflect on how schools can foster supportive, balanced learning environments and promote intentional, mindful engagement with technology across the whole school community. The course offers practical strategies, tools, and resources for designing activities that build digital resilience, strengthen well being, and encourage a holistic, whole school approach to digital life.

The course combines both hands on activities and background information that will enable teachers to transform their teaching practices into one that promotes active learning. It also facilitates innovative learning environments and the use of relevant educational technology. The course emphasizes collaborative and peer learning through communication and collaboration with a multicultural group of participants, sharing best practices, and reflecting together on classroom practice.
The course is targeted primarily to secondary school teachers and school leaders, but it can also be relevant for other levels and other stakeholders, such as teacher trainers.
All courses are delivered in English, and participants are expected to have at least solid basic skills in English listening and speaking in order to follow instructions and fully engage in the course activities.
