The concept of Phygital [Physical + Digital] was also discussed during this panel.

It represents a multi-sensory approach to creating resources based on the fusion of elements from the real and digital worlds. Above all, it allows students to establish real relationships and learn to cooperate within a group. Despite identifying as citizens of the world, the use

of globalized tools like the Internet and social media can contribute to the development

of nationalism and encourage a focus on local issues [Glocalization]. Given the potentially daunting nature of the world, it is crucial to prevent the youngest generations from seeking refuge in the metaverse and becoming entangled there because they feel safer in this parallel world.

According to Anna Osiadacz, the role of an educator is to help young people develop their competencies, not merely provide them with knowledge. By contextualizing events within

a social framework, younger generations can relate them to their own lives and position themselves on the timeline of events. Explaining the mechanisms that lead to an event is

a vital skill to acquire in order to comprehend the world that we live in as well as the factors that can lead to tragic events. Simplifying the concepts of past, present, and future aids

in placing events on a more comprehensible timeline. The past is a closed chapter, but

it remains significant for the present and future. It is the past that has shaped our current circumstances and appearances. Past events influence our present and, undoubtedly, our future. We should not regard the broader scope of history as a distant fact, as it has an impact on the destinies of nations, regions, and ultimately on families and individuals.

By establishing a point of continuity, students grasp and discover this connection, becoming actively engaged in the topic. Ms. Margaliot suggested that making young people ambassadors of memory is undoubtedly effective in helping them feel integrated

in the process, encouraging their active participation, and cultivating a sense

of responsibility passed down to them.
