The project leads motivates students to be digitally active citizens and it widens their horizons about the digital citizenship - by going through different issues connected with being more educated in the era of the modern, digital world now - in present and in the future. Students can reflect on responsible, active e- digital citizenship as new competence in our fast-paced world. The project work leads students to better understanding of digital rights, desired online behaviour as well as to their digital experience. The students are able to be identified as “digital natives” and they are supported on their way of becoming active, responsible e-citizens.
