The town hall of Bordeaux, in Gironde, launched a challenge to 5,500 students: to do without screens for ten days. A fun competition to better manage your screen time.
In Bordeaux (Gironde), the mission of young students is to avoid television and cell phones as much as possible every evening, and even on weekends. “It’s easy. To earn points, you don’t have to look at screens for ten days”, explains a student. Another finds this mission “a bit difficult”. A fun competition to better manage your screen time at home, but also at school. 5,500 students will take up the challenge launched by the Bordeaux town hall, helped by their parents, who will also try to put away their favorite cuddly toy.
A bill to reduce them in daycare centers
With an average of ten screens per household, it is not easy to disconnect. Result: 7-19 year olds spend 3h11 per day on their screens, and up to 5h10 for 16-19 year olds, according to Ipsos and the CNL. Two deputies have tabled a bill to reduce screens in nurseries. Children under 3 years old spend up to 1 hour 20 minutes on these devices.
