Children participate in many different types of digital activities. In order to be as comprehensive as possible, the Council of Europe has subdivided these into ten different areas, or domains, that are broadly grouped into three clusters: Being online, Well-being online, Rights Online.

Being online Well-being online Rights online

  • The first group, Being Online, includes domains that relate to competences needed in order to access the digital society, freely express oneself, and use digital tools creatively and with a critical mind.
  • The second group, Well-being Online, includes domains that relate to competences needed to engage positively in the digital society, and develop a healthy relationship with technology.
  • The third group, Rights Online, includes domains that relate to competences related to the rights and responsibilities of citizens in complex, diverse societies in a digital context, where privacy is protected and active participation is empowered.
