Between Screens and Scars

Trauma Informed Education (University of Vienna)

Trauma-Informed Perspectives on Schools in Times

Kolingasse 14

Digital realities have become inseparable from everyday life. Social media, artificial intelligence, and immersive learning environments are reshaping how knowledge is produced, accessed, and circulated in education.At the same time, these artificial worlds are not neutral. They may reproduce existing social inequalities, amplify exclusion, and, in some contexts, contribute to processes of re-traumatization. For young people growing up with unfiltered images of war, crisis, and global injustice, schools increasingly become spaces where digital saturation meets vulnerability, orientation, and the search for meaning.The Bi-Annual Forum on Trauma-Informed Practices invites educators, teacher educators, and researchers to examine these tensions through a trauma-informed lens. At its core lies a critical question: how do digital technologies in schooling and teacher education reproduce and amplify trauma and educational inequity, and how might they also be reimagined as spaces of agency, critical reflection, and new forms of learning? The forum explores the ambivalent role of digital and artificial environments in education, while highlighting possibilities for emancipation and empowerment through equity-centered, trauma-informed approaches.
