Τhe DigiDots project was formed with one main goal in mind: Inclusion. By placing this specific objective at the forefront of the project implementation we wanted to promote intercultural dialogue between different countries and cultures. This was an effort to create spaces for peaceful dialogue and tolerance while empowering underpriviledged youth to take a stance an become digital activists. DigiDots Main Objectives: Promotion of intercultural dialogue through new media. Tackling issues of integration through digital activism. Realizing the role of new technology in addressing intolerance and prejudice. The common goal for all partner organisations is to bring forward their common values in order to empower the European youth and prompt open dialogue in the EU. Through the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and skills, the partners wanted to take advantage of the social media dynamic of today to fight racism and bigotry. The inclusion of migrant youth and youth with less opportunities was fundamental.
DigiDots started as an endeavour for us to bridge our efforts for inclusion with the invaluable tools for digital transformation. Throughout our years of experience in the field of non- formal education and collaboration with organisations that act as agents of change, we found that Digital Tools offer a novel chance for inclusion and development. Τhus, the DigiDots project took form, as an initiative to introduce those interested in activism with new media tools for their work and offer the chance for participants to create their own campaigns and promote activist messages they are passionate about. DigiDots is an Erasmus + cooperation project that succeeded at promoting peaceful dialogue and tolerance by training Youth in the field of Digital Activism through three Blended Youth Mobilities (including in person and online courses) with international participants interested Social Activism. DigiDots Main Objectives: Promotion of intercultural dialogue through new media. Tackling issues of integration through digital activism. Realizing the role of new technology in addressing intolerance and prejudice.
