What We Do
The Coalition for Digital Education Wellness (CDEW) is a multi-sectoral initiative committed to promoting healthier digital habits across schools, workplaces, and homes. We recognize that the rapid growth of technology, while offering immense opportunities, also brings unique mental, physical, and emotional challenges. Our mission is to ensure that digital tools enhance well-being rather than compromise it

We design and deliver training modules, toolkits, and resources for teachers, school leaders, caregivers, and students to enhance digital wellbeing practices
Research & Innovation
We facilitate collaborative research on how screen time, digital learning environments, workplace technology use, and online behaviors affect the mental health and performance of students, professionals, and families across educational, workplace, and home settings.
Youth Engagement
We center youth voices by empowering young people to lead awareness campaigns, co-create interventions, and act as digital wellness champions in their communities.
Partnership Development
We foster cross-sector collaboration among civil society, government, academia, tech companies, and grassroots organizations to scale inclusive, impactful solutions.
