What is Digital Citizenship?

A digital citizen refers to a person who has the knowledge and skills to effectively use digital technologies to communicate with others, participate in society and create and consume digital content. Digital citizenship is about confident and positive engagement with digital technologies.

What is Digital Wellbeing?

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (WHO; Martino, 2020). Digital wellbeing is the act of integrating positive social, emotional and physical dimensions as a digital citizen and as a part of an online environment in a globally connected world.
