    Abstract

    In a world saturated with misinformation, surveillance, and echo chambers, digital literacy, defined merely as proficiency in navigating digital possibilities, is increasingly outdated. Drawing inspiration from the concept of citizenship, defined as the ability and willingness of individuals to contribute constructively and responsibly to the community, digital citizenship is now being applied to the efforts of museums and heritage organizations. Digital citizenship encompasses more than just developing critical skills; it involves fostering democratic values and promoting appropriate behavior. Leveraging the availability of digital resources, it can lead to new forms of participation.
