Digital Resilience of Children and Young People in Rural Areas
The main objective of the project is to strengthen digital resilience among children and young people in rural areas. Experiencing online risks has become an inherent part of growing up today. Research shows that children and adolescents most often cope with such challenges on their own, without support from adults. As contact with digital risks is unavoidable, it is important to develop children’s digital resilience – including critical thinking, coping strategies, and the ability to seek help when needed.
