Be a Virtual Leadership Generation

<< Background >>We applied for this project to contribute to the development of young digital leaders who can confidently navigate and shape today’s rapidly evolving digital society. Through our engagement, we aim to address the critical gap in digital literacy, employability, and cross-cultural e-communication skills among youth aged 18–30. This project directly responds to the needs identified through research and consultations: many young people lack the skills increasingly demanded in modern workplaces. Additionally, youth workers need updated training to remain effective mentors in this digital era. They need to acquire new tools and to adapt to the fast-changing circumstances before developing skills in youths. They should explain different aspects of digital leadership and e-communication, adopt vital tasks and follow up with the youths based on their wants and needs. We intend to help create inclusive, forward-looking tools and training that go beyond traditional models—empowering both young people and youth workers to communicate, collaborate, and lead across digital platforms. This initiative also strengthens our organization’s capacity to serve its community with up-to-date resources and practices.<< Objectives >>We applied for this project because we believe in its vision to empower young people by building their digital leadership, communication, and virtual teamwork skills—key areas that directly impact their employability. Many youth today face challenges in keeping up with the digital demands of the job market. This project offers practical, innovative training that equips participants not only with technical competencies but also with intercultural awareness, tolerance, and teamwork. It provides a space to learn and share non-formal methods like hackathons and agile development, which are essential in today’s fast-paced world. We also saw the chance to exchange best practices, promote inclusion and entrepreneurship, and contribute to developing training content and online resources that benefits both youth and youth workers. This initiative supports lasting impact by preparing young people to lead confidently in the digital era while strengthening community resilience and connection.<< Implementation >>Besides the activities that were necessary to achieve the project deliverables we also organized many meeting along the duration of the project not only the ones in persons such as in Kosice, Cadiz, Tarnów also lots of on line meetings fostering the work dynamic of the consortium. We organized LTTA in Tbilisi which was dedicated to testing the Training toolkit before the pilot testing in youth centres and plan for the pilot testing implementationWorkshops /local multiplayer events) – every partner prepared and carried out workshop to make the topic more understandable and aware of the possible impact. The workshops were part of each dissemination event. They were promoting the interaction of participants and exchange of experiences, good practices, and contacts to create future partnerships and synergies.In Poland we organized a final dissemination event – conference. Different stakeholders were able to attend and shared their experiences with the general public.<< Results >>1.Booklet with existing good practices in digital leadership - The book includes existing best practices that can help every youth worker implement these methods by following the examples provided in this booklet. It has attractive design and navigation features making it easier to use and it is translated into all languages in the partnership. 2.Digital Leadership Training Content for youths 18-30 - based on our gap analysis and CM, we designed youth training content. The trainees learnt about cognitive processes and available digital tools to be successful leaders in the new digital era. The training also gave insights into verbal and non-verbal communication aspects in a virtual settlement.3.Online Educational Resource (OER) - this result includes the development of an OER for Youths and Youth workers.
