117,521. This is the number of children (non -final list) that will participate, as of this Tuesday, May 13, in the “10 days without screens” challenge. As the latter indicates, the students of hundreds of schools, from the nursery to high school, are invited not to use their smartphone, tablet, console and other leisure screens until May 22. Like his parents and teachers.
This challenge, organized every year since 2018, is presented by the association 10 days without screens such as “an exercise of responsible consumption and mental health”, which helps “better delimit the border that separates the screens that serve screens that enslave.”
During these 10 days, leisure screens will be replaced by “discovery and meeting activities”, which will be organized by schools, parents, associations or local authorities. Then, students will win a point every time they do it without a specific five -step screen (in the morning before going to school, at noon, at the return of the school …) of the day during the duration of the challenge.
Consciousness of the Reasoned Use of screens
If students can win points, the objective with this challenge is not to make them compete in a competition. In fact, the points will accumulate daily at class or school level “to experience the challenge as a collective success and encourage each other, as in a team during a game.”
For the government, the objective through this challenge is to “make children, adolescents and their families aware of the reasoned use of screens.” This new edition occurs when experts called, at the end of April, to ban screens under six years of age instead of three years and that the Government wishes to prohibit social networks under 15 years.
