Digital Pioneers: European partnership for strengthening digitalization and media literacy in youth work

<< Objectives >>The goals of our small-scale partnership align with the growing significance of digitalisation in international youth work. Addressing the needs of people working with digital-native youth, we aim to: Enhance workers' digital competence within the partnership, explore digital tools in youth work and international collaboration, foster international cooperation in the digital space, address health aspects linked to digitalisation and empower the youth through knowledge impartation.<< Implementation >>We will conduct three meetings for the 6 Methods Team Members, covering introductory sessions, digital tools exploration, and workshops on Media Literacy, Digital Citizenship, and Digital Well-being. On-the-Spot workshops after the second meeting will serve as the first active test phase of the newly learned digital and method skills. A Youth Encounter will serve as a practical testbed for the developed methods, ensuring a comprehensive approach to our project goals.<< Results >>The expected results of this project encompass strengthened digital skills, enhanced usage of digital tools in youth work, and the creation of forward-looking partnerships in the digital space. The project aims to address mental and pysical health aspects related to digitalisation, fostering methods for a mindful approach to well-being in the digital era. Additionally, it envisions successfully imparting knowledge to young people through targeted and accessible methods.
