About the project

The digital world is a jungle. We train its explorers.

Every day, young people across Europe enter a digital environment shaped by algorithms, notifications, viral content, endless scroll and invisible systems of attention capture. It can be inspiring – but also confusing, manipulative and emotionally demanding.

Digital Jungle is a two-year European project responding through critical thinking, digital literacy, transmedia arts and online resilience – positioning young people as active, creative participants in digital culture, not passive users to be warned.
