ANTIC is leading the RESOLAB Europe project to enrich and expand the resources and tools required by AdoEnia.

Parents and teachers express a need to better support children and prevent risky behaviour by increasing their skills in the school and family setting.

According to the latest Parents, enfants et numérique study by the OPEN (Observatoire de la Parentalité & de l’Education Numérique ), « parents vastly underestimate their children's digital activities and this lack of knowledge is increasing among the youngest children. 27% of parents questioned said that their child, aged 7 to 10, uses a smartphone, whereas 52% of children said they did! This difference in perception can probably be explained by the lack of dialogue between parents and children about their digital practices. Parents remain fixated on mastery and control of the tools at the heart of education and content ».

At the same time, teachers were finding it difficult to manage the digital uses of young children and teenagers. That's why ANTIC began working in spring 2023 with AdoEnia, the Basque Coast Hospital Centre's Maison des Ados, on a new dimension for the RESOLAB project: a European dimension providing it with the resources it needs to take its work further.

The RESOLAB Europe project "Research laboratory on the use of social networks and parenting" is now a cooperative partnership in school education, co-funded by the European Union's ERASMUS+ programme, which will run from September 2023 to February 2026.

Around ANTIC, the lead partner, 4 partners will be working to develop tools and support adapted to children, teachers and families in order to develop their key digital skills, in accordance with the European programme DigComp

RESOLAB Europe’s approach is innovative as it proposes the provision of a secure social network for children to experience online sociability, a peer-to-peer mod; This will involve working on key digital skills at school and in the home, using innovative mediation tools (discussion groups, discussion forums, role-playing scenarios). This will help to understand children's real digital uses and counteract the perceptions of parents and teachers. Resource areas and digital guides for children, teachers and parents will complement the scheme.

When you consider that nearly 1 in 2 parents do not feel sufficiently supported (46%) », it's a long way from tackling the issue of parenting; It takes a long time to tackle parenting in the digital world that children experience, in a way that encourages them to become independent and responsible.
