The COVID-19 pandemic had exacerbated misinformation, anxieties, and fears against migrants and refugees in the streets, and especially throughout the internet. Incidents of xenophobia and hate speech often occurred against the backdrop of broader systemic inequalities and built upon, if not compounded, longstanding misinformation about young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds. On the other hand, despite measures that limited mobility and physical interactions, the pandemic had stimulated digital innovation on a global scale, connecting millions of migrants and refugees with their families and communities around the world. We believed that quality youth work needed to include digital considerations in this modern era as we recognized that young people were growing up in a digital age and needed support to navigate the online aspects of their lives and critically analyze online Information/interaction. We saw great potential in using digital technology and media by youth work to advance inclusion through non-formal and informal learning. This context gave birth to our 10-day international training course "Always Online for Youth Work" which took place in Yerevan, Armenia from 28 July- 6 August 2023. The project brought together 32 youth workers and youth leaders from 4 countries (Germany, Armenia, Georgia, and Italy). MAIN AIM OF THE PROJECT: This training course aimed to equip youth workers with digital skills and promote quality youth work through supporting innovative practices in a digital era to foster the inclusion of young people in general and migrants and refugees in particular. OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS: The project had two objectives and nine targets: Objective #1: Prepared youth workers to advance inclusion: - Equipped youth workers with knowledge and skills related to inclusion, diversity, intercultural learning, and dialogue. - Examined root causes of discrimination and exclusion of young migrants and refugees and how inclusion-based youth work could help bring about healing and social cohesion. - Created approaches, tools, and activities to unlock the potential of young people as actors of inclusion and change on a local level. - Shared good practices related to inclusion and cross-cultural learning. Objective #2: Prepared youth workers for digital youth work: - Built capacity of youth workers to respond to digitalization and development of Information and communications technology (ICT) practices in their organizations. - Shared top-tier digital youth work practices leading to innovation within the youth work community. - Learned about the latest ethical and organizational considerations and requirements of digital youth work. - Explored up-to-date digital tools, platforms, and activities to advance inclusion. - Raised awareness about the Erasmus+ Programme as a tool for intercultural learning, digital youth work, and inclusion As a result of this training, participants: 1. Established various online platforms for inclusion-based youth work. 2. Created an online toolbox (e.g., web page) capturing best practices, tools, and methodologies of online youth work supporting social inclusion. The training course was facilitated by experienced trainers in social inclusion and digital youth work, using non-formal education methods. It included input sessions, experience-exchange sessions, reflection groups, and discussions. The working methods were interactive and diverse to balance offline and online, theory and practice, and between information and application. Trainers aimed to use the resource of the participants as much as possible. Participants were encouraged to share their knowledge, ideas, and questions related to the topic. Taking into account the diversity of the participants in terms of culture and working experience, the methods provided effective group communication and allowed all participants to fulfill their expectations and needs through a progressive and valuable intercultural learning experience. This training had a strong focus on results and concrete use of learning products. Participants were supported and guided to develop the web-based toolbox and initiate online intercultural learning and social inclusion platforms.
