10 March 2026 | 12:00 – 14:30 CET
Microsoft Innovation Hub – Rue Montoyer 51, 1000 Brussels | Hybrid format
On 10 March 2026, policymakers, practitioners, researchers and digital inclusion advocates will gather in Brussels (Belgium) for the official launch of All Digital Weeks 2026, under the central theme: “Digital well-being for a competitive Europe.”
As digital tools become increasingly embedded in everyday life, they shape not only how we work, learn and communicate, but also how we feel, behave and relate to others. While digitalisation offers vast opportunities for innovation, growth and democratic participation, it also raises fundamental questions regarding wellbeing, safety, inclusion and rights.
The launch event will open a shared reflection on how Europe can support digital transformation that strengthens people, rather than overwhelms them.
Why digital well-being matters
Europe’s competitiveness depends not only on technological advancement, but also on the capacity of its citizens to engage confidently and meaningfully in digital society. Healthy digital habits, inclusive systems and rights-based approaches to technology are essential to ensuring that digitalisation supports social cohesion and democratic resilience.
Digital well-being goes beyond individual screen time management. It encompasses:
- The ability to participate safely and autonomously online
- Protection of fundamental rights in digital environments
- Inclusive access to digital education and skills
- Responsible approaches to AI and emerging technologies
By placing digital well-being at the centre of the 2026 campaign, All Digital Weeks recognises that a competitive Europe must also be a fair, safe and inclusive one.
A space for dialogue and policy exchange
The event will bring together:
- EU and national representatives working on digital education, skills and inclusion
- Members of the All Digital network and practitioners in digital equity and wellbeing
- Researchers and experts in online safety, digital rights and responsible AI
The programme combines high-level policy reflection with interactive exchange.
At a time when AI systems are rapidly evolving and online environments are increasingly complex, the conversation around digital well-being is no longer optional but a policy necessity. Bringing together practitioners and decision-makers in a hybrid format ensures that diverse perspectives can contribute to shaping forward-looking solutions.
If you work in digital skills, education, policy, inclusion or responsible technology, this discussion offers a valuable opportunity to engage with peers and contribute to a shared European vision for healthier digital participation.
