ABOUT PROJECT
SELF-ID – My Digital Self: Shaping Identity in the Digital Age
SELF-ID is an Erasmus+ project that explores how digital environments shape the identity, self-image and wellbeing of young people. In a world influenced by social media, algorithms and artificial intelligence, adolescents are constantly exposed to content that affects how they see themselves and others. The project brings together partners from across Europe to better understand these influences and to support young people in developing a healthier, more critical and more confident sense of self in digital spaces.
What is the project about?
Through research and educational activities, the project examines how these factors shape young people’s everyday experiences. SELF-ID focuses on the intersection of:
digital identity and self-presentation online
Social media and the influence of algorithms
artificial intelligence and generated content
Body image, self-perception and wellbeing
