D2.1 – Meta-Research and Literature Review on Digital Well-Being in Education
This report explores how digital technologies affect the well-being of young people aged 12–15 in educational settings.
It examines six interconnected domains: emotional, behavioural, mental, social, physical and cognitive well-being.
The research combines international literature, existing frameworks and evidence from Cyprus, Poland, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Finland.
It highlights both the opportunities offered by digital technologies and risks such as excessive screen time, distraction, cyberbullying and reduced physical activity.
The findings provide recommendations for educators, parents and policymakers and establish an evidence base for the further development of DWELL tools and resources
