WHAT IF?

Have you ever wondered what your life would look like without internet?
No social media. No Google. No YouTube. No messages.
Just you, the people around you, and the world as it is — offline.
“What If?” is a youth exchange that challenges you to imagine a world where the internet suddenly disappears. Together with young people from other countries, you will explore how digital technology shapes the way we live, learn, work, and connect – and what happens when it’s no longer there.
This exchange is not about avoiding the digital world — it’s about understanding it better. Through creative workshops, role plays, group challenges, and reflection activities, you’ll discover:
