Digital Mindfulness:

PROGRAMME ORIENTATION
Three connected
capacities.
Digital awareness helps us recognize and understand what may be happening within a digital interaction.
Digital mindfulness is the intentional and non-judgmental practice of bringing that awareness into an ongoing or recently completed interaction so that we can observe, understand, and choose more consciously.
Digital self-care uses this understanding and practice to support attention, emotional balance, relationships, responsibilities, and well-being in digital life.
