What shapes a child’s ability to express themselves, build relationships, and feel confident in the world?

It often starts much earlier—and much closer to home and school than we think.

When educators and families communicate openly and consistently, children benefit from a sense of stability, understanding, and trust. These everyday interactions play a key role in shaping emotional resilience, communication skills, and overall well-being.

At Matrix Internet, this is exactly where our focus lies—leading the communication and dissemination of GrowWell to make these connections stronger, clearer, and easier to build in practice.

Strengthening these connections means making support practical, accessible, and easy to use in real-life settings.

This is being brought to life through:
• 12 Social-Emotional Learning Pillars
• A multilingual toolkit
• Training modules for educators
• Workshops for parents
• A long-term digital resource space

Because when the adults around a child are aligned, supported, and connected—children are better able to grow, learn, and thrive.

It was great to be back together in person for the latest Digital4Sustainability consortium meeting in Alcalá de Henares, hosted by Universidad de Alcalá.

Matrix Internet was represented by Jeff and Fionnuala, who joined project partners for two days of valuable discussion and planning. The meeting included progress updates on the Needs Analysis and Skills Strategy, preparations for the upcoming learning programme pilots set to launch across Europe this year, and discussions around exciting next steps for the project, including a major event this September.

From all the team at Matrix, we would like to say a huge thank you to the PulseZ community.

Together, we have helped create a space where young voices could be heard, stories could be shared, and important conversations could happen across Europe.

As the funded phase of the project comes to an end, we are proud of everything this community has achieved. The PulseZ platform will remain accessible online, so its stories, multimedia content and learning resources can continue to inspire others.

We hope you will continue to follow, support and engage with the wider network of organisations and opportunities connected to PulseZ.

We are proud to support Girls in Digital Week 2026, an EU Code Week initiative shining a spotlight on inclusion, creativity and the opportunities digital skills can unlock for girls and young women across Europe. Girls in Digital Week runs from 23 to 27 March 2026 and encourages schools, communities, educators, parents and organisations to help create spaces where confidence and curiosity in technology can grow.

At Matrix, we believe a stronger digital future depends on broader participation and more diverse voices in tech. Initiatives like this matter because they help challenge stereotypes, build confidence and encourage the next generation to see digital and STE(A)M pathways as open to them. The campaign also highlights practical ways to get involved, including hands-on learning experiences through Girls Code It Better Sprints.
