AIM OF THE PROJECT
The topic we aim to explore in this initiative is the impact of digital technologies on the environment. This idea emerged from discussions among a group of international volunteers who recognized a significant gap in knowledge regarding this issue. They observed that, despite the rapid advancement and widespread adoption of digital technologies, there is a general lack of awareness about their environmental consequences. Additionally, there appears to be a limited interest in critically examining this topic, as digital transformation is predominantly perceived as a positive development and is actively promoted as one of the key priorities within European policies.
Through this Youth Exchange, we seek to deepen our understanding of the environmental footprint of digital technologies, exploring aspects such as energy consumption, electronic waste, and resource depletion. Furthermore, we aim to develop effective strategies for communicating these concerns within our local communities, fostering greater awareness and encouraging responsible digital practices. By addressing this overlooked issue, we hope to contribute to a more sustainable approach to digitalization and inspire meaningful discussions on balancing technological progress with environmental responsibility.
