Through the Primo Passo nel Digitale project, we wanted to encourage the improvement of two important key competences, defined by the EU in the Council Recommendation: Mathematical competence and digital competence. Our goal was to create an inclusive path aimed at including for the first time groups of marginalized young people in the European DIGITAL COMPETENCES FRAMEWORK 2.0 and ensure that this framework helps their inclusion in society and in the world of work. Below is a structure of the objectives outlined according to the groups of beneficiaries targeted by our project: - MIGRANTS & NEETS: foster the digitization of young migrants, increasing their employability and facilitating their integration into society. For NEETs, support the improvement of the job tasks sought, both when they are outside their own territory and when they aim to improve it; - young ROMs: narrowing the digital divide that has always distinguished the ROM generations.
Education in Progress, together with the Spanish partner Amics, has decided to propose this project for several reasons: 1) The issue of digitization and the inclusion of migrants is very close to the heart of both associations involved; 2) from previous experiences of the two partners in larger projects, which focused on the importance of developing key competences, such as Share the BAdge 2019-1-NL01-KA204-060481 and the good practice youth Shared Responsibility 2016-2-NL02- KA205-001416, it could be understood that some of the target groups considered (migrants and groups of disadvantaged youth) had not shown any digital aptitude during the training Pilots. Indeed, some kids lacked the essential knowledge of the digital world. Therefore, these deficits did not allow these NEET and marginalized young people to benefit from the digital badge system (intellectual result of the project) for the recognition of skills. For these reasons, we have decided to help young migrants and NEETs take a first step towards the digital world, in an easy and fun way, through our board games.
