Torrevieja expands Cibersabios to primary and secondary schools in 2026/2027
The first sessions took place on 20 October at La Inmaculada school and IES Mediterráneo, with activities also aimed at families.
Cibersabios has returned to classrooms in Torrevieja with activities to prevent the inappropriate use of screens, social media and video games. The new phase, aimed at pupils in Years 3 and 4 of primary school and Years 1 and 2 of secondary school, began on 20 October at La Inmaculada school and IES Mediterráneo.
The initiative is coordinated by the Community Prevention Unit for Addictive Behaviours (UPCCA), which comes under the Department of Public Health, and is due to be rolled out across the municipality’s schools. Sessions are tailored to pupils’ ages and include interactive activities.
The programme also offers resources, guidance and talks for families. The councillor for Public Health, Rosa Cañón, said the aim was to teach children to regulate their use of technology, rather than ban it.
Cibersabios was previously run during the 2025/2026 school year for Year 6 pupils, with 90-minute workshops in 43 classes across 16 schools, according to the Town Hall. This year’s programme expands the initiative to other year groups and includes secondary school pupils.
Families and schools can contact the UPCCA on 607 185 249 or 672 727 627, via WhatsApp on 687 521 005, or by email at upcca@torrevieja.eu.
