Smartphones are important to stay connected with family and friends and sometimes are themselves a tool to create and maintain long-distance friendships…
But frequently young people don’t know how to use their mobile phones or digital devices in a conscious way.
And here we can help them to learn!

We want to introduce 4 titles that in different ways talk about our technology addiction and proposes a conscious approach to the digital life of children.
