[CfP] Workshop "Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems" (DIGI-Teens 2025)

by Luigi De Russis

** Apologies for cross-posting ** Call for Papers – Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems (DIGI-Teens 2025) CHItaly 2025 Workshop October 2025 - Salerno, Italy More info: https://sites.google.com/view/2nd-digiteens-ws --- ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Recently, researchers have been examining the unforeseen issues caused by the excessive use of personal devices and online services, especially as companies increasingly employ "attention-capture" tactics like guilty-pleasure recommendations and automatic content playback. These strategies exploit users' psychological vulnerabilities, aiming to boost advertising revenue, resulting in tangible repercussions on users' perceived agency and often leading to a perceived lack of control over their technology use. These problems gave rise to a new kind of psychological "digital wellbeing," investigated in fields such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and psychology. Traditional strategies employed by practitioners and researchers involve the creation of Digital Self-Control Tools (DSCTs), i.e., mobile applications and browser extensions that empower users to monitor their usage patterns and implement interventions, such as timers and lock-out mechanisms, to self-regulate device usage. Yet, researchers and the users themselves are starting to warn that achieving digital wellbeing is a path of personal growth that requires education more than self-monitoring strategies. The objective of this workshop is to establish a venue for the academic and industrial communities to discuss ongoing research and ideas at the intersection of digital wellbeing and education, aiming to promote the development of strategies and tools to "teach" users – particularly children and teenagers – to use technology more meaningfully and consciously. This objective can be achieved in multiple ways, such as by creating novel DSCTs that include educational aspects, serious games, collaborative platforms to introduce and support digital wellbeing learning at school, or leveraging AI and, in particular, large language models (LLMs) to create adaptive, personalized educational experiences that help users develop healthier digital habits and skills for navigating online environments. This workshop is part of the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter (CHItaly 2025). CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We invite researchers and practitioners in interdisciplinary domains intersecting HCI, AI, psychology, design, and/or education to engage in dialog on the topics below. A key priority of our workshop will be to invite submissions from an intellectually diverse and global group of participants to further discussions on how appropriate human-centered design can contribute to digital wellbeing education. Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a position paper (2-4 pages) describing and highlighting their contributions to the workshop topics. The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - participatory and co-design of digital wellbeing systems; - tools and strategies to teach digital wellbeing at school; - strategies and tools for measuring students’ digital wellbeing; - novel DSCTs that include educational aspects; - gamification strategies for digital wellbeing; - AI-based personalized digital wellbeing learning; - ethical, social, and policy-making factors. SUBMISSIONS Submissions of position papers should be of 2-4 pages, in the ACM Primary Article Submission Templates (single column, https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Papers should be submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=digiteens2025). They will be reviewed by at least one qualified reviewer with expertise in the relevant subject area. The workshop chairs will make final acceptance decisions based on these reviews, considering factors such as relevance to the workshop themes, originality of contribution, and overall quality. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop. Virtual participation will be made possible. Accepted and presented papers will be made available on CEUR Workshop Proceedings, if possible, while workshop results will be published on our website. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: 14 July 2025 Notification: 1 August 2025 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS Luca Scibetta, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Luigi De Russis, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Alberto Monge Roffarello, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Catia Prandi, Università di Bologna, Italy Chiara Ceccarini, Università di Bologna, Italy
