If digital developments are numerous and mark significant transformations in almost all aspects of society, the economy and culture, the participants agree that they have profoundly modified our daily lives and therefore induce changes within families. During the various interventions and questions from participants, many themes were addressed, such as the use of digital technology in schools (with its advantages and disadvantages), misinformation, the search for reliable sources, screen time children (and their possible consequences on sleep time), personal data, etc.
In addition, three workshops were offered:
- “AI Café”, hosted by the National Digital Council
- “Cybersecurity: from childhood to seniors, what solutions? », hosted by the National Gendarmerie
- “Parenting and digital”, hosted by the Observatory of Parenting and Digital Education
Dany Bechet is Project Manager against illiteracy and illiteracy at CD08. For him, “the problems linked to the use of digital technology are multiple and to act effectively, particularly towards populations in difficulty, it is essential to have a global vision. Failing to master all the subjects, we need to know them, and this can only be done transversally. This day is a complete continuation of the actions carried out for several years already with field workers throughout the region. »
