Each session was structured to combine learning with participation, ensuring that children and youth could relate the discussions to their own daily screen experiences. The workshops began with a warm welcome and icebreaker activities to build rapport and introduce the goals of the session. Students were then guided through discussions on different types of screen use\u2014educational, recreational, and social media\u2014and informed about recommended screen-time guidelines for their age groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through engaging presentations developed by experts from Ojass Takhte Trust and real-life examples, volunteers as facilitators highlighted the physical, psychological, and social consequences of excessive screen exposure, such as eye strain, sleep disturbance, attention difficulties, and reduced interpersonal interactions. Participants then explored strategies for balanced digital use, including creating tech-free zones, scheduling breaks, prioritising physical activity, and practising mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, group discussions encouraged students to express their ideas and co-create \u201cHealthy Screen Habits\u201d suited to their lifestyles. The workshops also included focused discussions on the role of families and schools in shaping responsible digital behaviour, emphasising the importance of open communication, consistent boundaries, and collective responsibility in managing technology use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each session concluded with a Q&amp;A segment, followed by an \u201cAction Commitment\u201d exercise, where students pledged one personal change to improve their digital habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The training model successfully blended education, self-reflection, and practical strategies\u2014empowering students to become mindful, responsible, and balanced digital citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Volunteer with Ojass!<\/em><\/strong><br><strong><em>Ojass applauds students from NorthCap University who have volunteered as facilitators for cascading the message under this project.
