Social Connections and Well-being in the Digital era

25-29 August 2025

Following the success of the previous two editions, we are delighted to propose the third edition of the “Social Connections and Well-being in the Digital Era” Como Lake summer school. Building upon the feedback and valuable insights gained from past editions, this year’s program aims to delve even deeper into the multifaceted impact of digital technologies on human sociality and well-being.

In light of the evolving landscape shaped by digital technologies, our focus remains on understanding the dynamic interplay between technology and social connections. From exploring the implications of digital platforms on social inclusion and exclusion to examining the changing nature of interpersonal relationships in online environments, our interdisciplinary approach will provide attendees with comprehensive insights into the complexities of the digital age. In doing this, the most recent cutting-edge research aimed at promoting well-being and mental and physical health will be presented and discussed by the workgroup of teachers and students of the school. Through engaging lectures, interactive workshops, and collaborative projects, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented by the digital revolution.
