Uses of Time

A series of five debates reflecting on the problems and limitations involved in the use of digital tools among children and adolescents.

The aim of the sessions is to analyse the current technological model and its structural implications for younger generations, explore the effects that the use of digital technologies has on the physical and mental health of children and adolescents, and discuss the challenges posed by their integration into the education system and schools. At the same time, the aim is to assess the extent to which digitalisation contributes to reducing or, on the contrary, widening social inequalities, and to provide a space where children and adolescents can express their views and direct experience of these technologies.

Time Impacts:

• Promoting awareness and knowledge about the uses of time.
• Promoting healthy uses of time.
• Improving quality leisure and equity in educational and leisure activities.
