Workshops led by expert Jordi Camós educate 12-13-year-olds on social media risks, algorithms, addiction,

Andorra Telecom delivered four digital wellbeing workshops this Wednesday and Thursday for around 90 students aged 12 and 13 from Ordino's first-year secondary school, at the request of the educational center.

Expert in digital environments Jordi Camós led the sessions, which examined risks from digital platforms and social networks. Topics included screen time exposure, how algorithms drive content consumption and user behavior, the addictive pull of social media, notification impacts, the FOMO effect, video game monetization through in-app purchases and betting, industry tactics to capture attention, technology addiction, and concentration challenges.

Participants explored how these elements shape their personal development, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.

The program aligns with Andorra Telecom's commitment to awareness campaigns and guidance for young internet users, promoting secure navigation and digital wellbeing. The company positions this as a key pillar of its corporate social responsibility amid growing risks from unsupervised technology access among children and youth. It advocates responsible tech use to boost inclusive learning, build adaptation skills for today's world, and close the digital divide.
