Objectives

“Digital Savvy” aims to promote youth employment through the development of new competences and skills for youth workers which will allow them to adjust their pedagogy to include responsible use of technology and to raise young people awareness of digital footprints, encouraging them to make informed decisions about the contents they create or share online which can affect their employability. In this regard, the specific objectives of the project for youth workers are: -To understand what digital footprint is and how it can affect young people employability. -To understand why employers check social media and which are the contents to be careful about in a digital footprint which can cause that an employer does not hire a job candidate. -To learn how to protect, create and maintain a good digital footprint. -To raise awareness about the role played of social media as tool for job recruitment and promoting a smart use of them by young people in order to favor their access to the labour market. -To understand how to set up a digital footprint mentoring programme for young people. -To upgrade their knowledge about the latest EU rules, especially the “right to be forgotten”, and understand how those rules can be used to protect and preserve a young people digital footprint.
