New 'freei' App Launches to Promote Healthy Digital Habits for Teens
A new app, 'freei', has launched to help young people develop healthy digital habits. The app, designed for children aged 11 to 15, encourages balanced media usage through daily challenges over three weeks. It's anonymous to use, requiring only a self-chosen username and password.
The 'freei' app is part of the broader Internet-ABC initiative in Germany. This program, provided by organisations like the Medienanstalt Hessen, focuses on media competence, safe internet use, and digital skills for children and teenagers between 11 and 15 years old. It offers workshops and online events to educate young people about responsible digital media consumption.
The 'freei' app also caters to parents, providing them with tools to support their children in developing healthy media habits. The app recognises the significant role digital media plays in young people's daily lives and aims to mitigate the negative impacts of excessive smartphone use on well-being, performance, and social life.
The 'freei' app, part of the Internet-ABC initiative, is promoting conscious digital media use among young people. With its three-week challenge and anonymous registration, it encourages healthy habits and supports both children and parents in navigating the digital world.
