Welcome to Digital A(ddi)CTION
Empowering youth through connection, awareness, and real-world tools.
Digital A(ddi)CTION is a space where young people can reconnect with themselves and with each other through reflection, creativity, and shared experiences. Using hands-on methods like zine-making, group journaling, and creative dialogue, participants explore how digital life affects their emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Young people who initiated this exchange play an active role in shaping the process. They help define the themes, guide activities, and support others. Participants from four countries share experiences, question assumptions, and co-create new perspectives on digital wellbeing, grounded in real youth voices and everyday reality. The project aims to spark long-term friendships, intercultural understanding, and a strong sense of belonging. Through shared meals, storytelling, and moments of reflection, young people discover both what makes them unique and what connects them across borders.
