ScreenWise: Guiding Families Towards Healthier Digital Behaviours is a 12-month Erasmus+ Small-Scale Partnership in Adult Education (KA210-ADU) running from 01/04/2025 to 31/03/2026.

It focuses on supporting parents—especially those with fewer opportunities—to build healthier, more mindful digital habits for themselves and their children.

The project addresses a major challenge in modern families

  • Excessive or unregulated screen time among parents,

  • Limited knowledge about digital supervision,

  • Emotional disengagement, stress, and digital overuse that negatively affect children.

73% of parents
