decaresocialservices📱✨SMART SCREEN PROJECT – FROM SCHOOLS TO THE COMMUNITY✨📱 🌿 Building a healthier digital future, one community at a time! As part of the Smart Screen Project, a significant milestone was achieved on 4th June 2026 with the launch of the project's community-level intervention at the Karakulam Grama Panchayat Office. 🏫➡️🏘️ Initially implemented in schools, the Smart Screen Project has now been expanded to the community level for the first time in Karakulam Grama Panchayat. Through this initiative, we aim to extend our reach beyond students and schools to engage parents, families, educators, and the wider community, creating a collective movement towards healthier digital habits. 👩‍⚕️👩‍🏫 As the first step in this transition, an orientation and briefing session was conducted for 36 frontline community representatives, including ASHA Workers and Headmistresses from schools across Karakulam Grama Panchayat. Their active participation is vital in spreading awareness and fostering positive behavioural change within families and communities. The session focused on: 📱 Understanding screen addiction and its growing impact ⚠️ Recognizing the physical, emotional, social, and academic consequences of excessive screen use 🏫 Sharing the successful interventions already implemented at the school level 🤝 Discussing strategies for expanding the project across the community 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Strengthening community involvement in promoting responsible technology use 🌱 By bringing together key stakeholders, the project seeks to create a supportive environment where children, parents, schools, and community members can work together to develop balanced and healthy digital lifestyles. 💙 This marks the beginning of a broader community movement that recognizes digital well-being as a shared responsibility. ✨From an Individual to Homes, From Homes to the Community — Together We Build a Screen-Smart Future!✨ #SmartScreenProject #DigitalWellbeing #ScreenSmart #ScreenAddictionAwareness #HealthyDigitalHabits
