Summary/Abstract: The article outlines the characteristics of the so called generation Z - people born after 1995 and generation Alpha - people born after 2010. The description of these groups is accompanied by educational considerations on technology developments, which lead to create the generations that are commonly using mobile devices and treat them as the access points to the Internet. What are the pedagogical consequences of such new educational and social situations? Characteristics of generation Z and Alpha and information on media development and educational challenges will form the basis for reflection on the competencies which should be or not developed in order to build a participatory culture. I will also ask about competences needed for active participation in culture. Should we go beyond the relational model of digital literacy and promote more universal solution for all stages of formal education?
