Digitalization is the use of digital technologies to change a business model and provide new revenue and value-producing opportunities; it is the process of moving a digital business into a paper-free process which is something that many developed and eco-friendly countries are having as the goal in the near future. We are all aware of the process and that it will take time but it will be worth it once it is fully present in our society.
The European Union with its partners are doing big things in this process. It includes: lower prices of roaming in Western Balkans, free Wi-Fi in public places and transforming small and medium companies by funding them through program Digitalna Evropa. Also one of the projects is smart cities whose goal is digital transformation of the cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the near future.
There are a lot of appliances of digitalization process including: digitalization of governmental institutions, work process, youth activism and work etc. Especially in these modern times when there’s almost nobody who doesn’t use at least a smartphone or some smart gadget, it should make this process easier to get accepted by wider masses.
Some of these practical uses of the digitization process can be beneficial instantly but some of them take time for us to see the results. For example digitalization in Medicine is something that is very practical and instantly visible, but this process in Wireless Infrastructure can be something very hard to see but still every part of digitalization will have beneficial consequences in the future. Becoming Digitally Conscious is just the right project to know more about digital transformation through the development of digital readiness, resilience and capacity.
More about "BDC" project:
“Becoming Digitally Conscious” is a Capacity Building project targeted at the promotion of healthy digital habits among young people (between 18 and 25 years old) living in the European and Western Balkans area. The goal is to make this group aware of the potential dangers of making excessive use of digital devices, such as psychological disorders (e.g., eating disorders and depression). Considering that virtual reality has become an essential part of young people’s lives (especially during the covid-19 pandemic to study or socialize, which before they did mainly offline), we believe it is important to train them on how to integrate digital devices in a healthy and conscious way. Through the education of youth workers, the project will contribute to increasing the quality, innovation, and recognition of youth work, supporting the sharing of methods to address the opportunities and implications of digitalization. Of course, it is as well related to “Addressing digital transformation through the development of digital readiness, resilience and capacity” because all major social changes imply some areas of risk that need to be reflected upon to mitigate the issues created (in this case digital addiction).
