Well-Being Incubator: Workshop - Digital well-being: the risks and opportunities of digital media
24/02/2023
This one-day workshop aims to identify the positive and negative impacts of engaging with digital activities in three domains: personal and family, workplace, and civic and democratic life. Furthermore, it explores ways to manage and control factors that contribute to digital well-being in these specific fields. Organisers will offer their own insights on this topic based on previous data or scientific evidence. The keynote speech will be held by Mariek Vanden Abeleen (Ghent University), whose work on digital well-being has been recently published in some of the most relevant journals in communication studies such as the Journal of Communication and the Journal ofMobile Media and Communication. The workshop is complemented by two mindfulness practices.
