EfVET’s Annual International Conference held in Thessaloniki from 25 to 28 October 2017, where EfVET staff disseminated Health Social Media project during the roundtables.
The Healthy Social Media project was presented by EfVET during the roundtable session 2. Participants were invited to review the first outcomes of “Needs Analysis Study” and comment on other aspects of the project development. Also, we showed some of the interesting figures found along the study “not only teenagers are spending up to 12 hours as well adults are spending up more than 7 hours a day on Social Media”. The roundtable’s participants raise some comments regarding this, stressing that “we have to safe teens from all fake news and that social media has made easy to have a double life, presenting a false image of them and their currently lives”. Therefore, we have to find solution for protection of our data in all social media.
All those who attended the roundtables were invited to visit the website . The participants were impresses by the description of Healthy Social Media project and they are looking forward receiving more updates via project newsletter
EfVET staff had the opportunity to disseminated the project by handing out more than 150 brochures and printing version of the First Newsletter.
