Screen Time: VRT’s Digital Skills Program Supported by Flemish Government

That is why VRT is working on numerous initiatives and programs to help people strengthen their digital skills, with the support of the Flemish government. This spring you can look forward to an offer tailored to all your digital needs and questions. Whether you think Digiwatte, or you are faced with a Digital Dilemma with your Screen Time, from now on you will smoothly follow the algorithms of life and no bug will remain unknown to you. Bits or bytes? Everyone join us!

Screen time

The average Flemish spends no less than four hours on the screen of a computer or smartphone every day, even outside work or school. Yet research by Statistics Flanders shows that almost half of Flemish people lack a number of basic digital skills. And even people who are involved are sometimes misled or do not know how to deal with all those apps and their countless possibilities. We are all, more than we sometimes want to admit, still often middle lane drivers on the lightning-fast digital highway.

How do you protect yourself against phishing and what do you do if you do become a victim? Which e-commerce, second-hand sales and vacation rental sites and apps are trustworthy? What are your children actually doing on Tiktok? How do you work efficiently from home? Can you put your fate in the hands of health apps? And how do you get rid of your smartphone addiction? These are all questions that most Flemish people sometimes ask themselves.

Enter Maureen Vanherberghen and Margaux Amant. Later in the program accompanied by Margaux Bogaert. Maureen and Margaux visit the homes of people who have such questions twice a week. And they come with practical, immediately applicable tips. They do this in Kampenhout: the municipality that exactly 25 years ago became the very first digital municipality in Flanders, with a free internet connection and e-mail address for every resident, and shared computers in public places. In short, no municipality is more suitable to become the first screen-safe municipality in Flanders.

Screen time, from January 30 every Tuesday and Thursday at 5:55 PM on VRT 1 and VRT MAX.

The tips are also distributed via VRT’s social media.
