| Popis | Adolescents often describe their mobiles as comforting and stressful, reflecting a dependency that impacts their well-being. Responding to this challenge, Dotykáče, a digital storytelling web app and workshop programme, invites teenagers to reflect on their mobile use. Inspired by autoteatro—where audiences become performers by following scripted instructions—Dotykáče adapts this performative model to one that personifies the phone as a character, encouraging teenagers to externalise and re-examine their habits and emotional attachments. Grounded in performative principles and developmental psychology, the programme guides teenagers through staged encounters: revisiting daily gestures, exchanging phones, and ultimately defining their relationship with their device. A pilot study with Czech teenagers (ages 15–19) demonstrated strong engagement. It prompted moments of realisation, such as recognition of compulsive consumption of online content, awareness of unhealthy physical postures, and reassessment of emotional bonds with devices. These preliminary insights suggest that performative, narrative-based approaches offer a powerful complement to digital well-being education. |
