Digital Detox Survey
In April 2022, in an effort to understand more about the digital habits of teenagers, we developed and distributed an original online survey to students at Nord Anglia International, Dubai. We received approximately 500 responses, which the Digital Detox team at Nord Anglia has been able to use in order to further ideate and implement activities to help students build healthier relationships with technology and their digital devices.
Digital Detox Day, Nord Anglia International, Dubai
On July 30th, 2022, the Digital Detox Team successfully facilitated a school-wide digital detox day at Nord Anglia, where students and staff went without wifi for the duration of a school day. Students instead focused on offline learning and activities, and the day was a huge success!
Our founder Aaraynaa also led a moral education lesson for an hour at Nord Anglia in May 2022, speaking in front of 2400 students about the digital detox project and how we can improve our own safety and health with regards to online habits.
