This section presents the main outcomes of the PeerCo project, including surveys and Living Labs exploring the impact of social media on teenagers’ communication skills and self-image. It features key findings from teachers and students, analyses of local Living Labs, and a set of recommendations proposing strategies to reduce the negative effects of social media and strengthen responsible digital behavior.
This part focuses on developing training materials and methodologies to promote a healthy and responsible use of social media among teachers and students. The results include training modules on critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and social media campaigns, along with case studies and peer-to-peer learning methods. Together, these resources aim to empower educators and students to build digital literacy, well-being, and resilience while reducing the negative effects of social media use.
This part focuses on the pilot testing phase, where trained teachers and students expand the program by training peers and creating social media campaigns addressing social issues. This stage evaluates and improves the training’s effectiveness through feedback and real-world application. It also leads to policy recommendations at local, national, and European levels to address the impact of social media on adolescents’ well-being. Overall, WP4 strengthens the training program and supports the project’s goal of empowering students to use social media responsibly.
