The implementation of our project aimed to achieve several objectives in response to the transformative impact of the Digital World on various aspects of economic and social life worldwide. As new types of jobs emerged rapidly, it became crucial for individuals to anticipate and prepare for the future of work to remain relevant and valuable.The success of companies and the growing industry relied heavily on highly skilled staff who could effectively utilize technology. However, Norway, renowned as one of the world's most digitized countries, faced the challenge of increasing demand for IT professionals that surpassed the number of available IT graduates. To address this issue, initiatives were launched by the European Economic Area (EEA) and Norway Grants to support transnational projects for Youth Employment, aiming to enhance job opportunities for young people outside the labor market. By doing so, these initiatives contributed to the fulfillment of Sustainable Development Goal 8, which sought to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth. The Norwegian government recognized the significance of digitalization. It proposed strategies to maintain its position as a leader in utilizing new technologies for innovation and value creation in public health and social care. The white paper 'Digital Agenda for Norway' (2015–2016) and the digital strategy 'One Digital Public Sector' (2019–2025) emphasized the critical role of digital competence in the digital transformation capability of welfare organizations and their ability to reap the benefits of digitalization. A lack of basic digital competence was observed among 30% of the adult population, as evidenced by the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies. This highlighted the urgent need to address the digital skills gap in Norway. We recognized the importance of collaboration and communication with other European youth to gain new perspectives. Although young people were often assumed to be 'digital natives with proficient online navigation skills, studies revealed that they did not possess the necessary skills to safely and effectively use digital technologies. While 95% of young people accessed the Internet daily, their engagement mostly revolved around entertainment and communication, with only 13% engaging in programming activities and 10% completing online courses on any subject. To bridge this gap, our Digitally Oriented Nature Lovers project addressed five critical areas of digital skills: information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content creation, safety, and problem-solving. These areas were encompassed by the European Digital Competence Framework (DigComp). Considering that 30% of individuals in the EU-27 lacked or had low digital skills, it was crucial to focus on improving digital literacy. The statistics from Eurostat in 2021 indicated the distribution of basic or above basic overall digital skills among young people aged 16 to 29 in various countries. Norway led with 79%, followed by Spain (64%), Czechia (60%), Hungary (49%), Italy (46%), Bulgaria (31%), and Turkey (30%). For the above basic overall digital skills, the percentages were 43% in Norway, 36% in Spain, 24% in Czechia, 22% in Hungary, 23% in Italy, 8% in Bulgaria, and 10% in Turkey. Moreover, the European Commission's communication 'Shaping Europe's digital future' highlighted that over 90% of jobs already required basic digital skills. Based on these data and information, we undertook the development of this project to empower young people and equip them with the necessary digital skills to thrive in the new digital era. Our objectives were the following: - Providing young people with information about primary and above basic digital skills - Raising their awareness of opportunities to improve their digital skills - Helping them understand the digital tools required in the workforce - Encouraging them to utilize digital capacities to protect nature. Our project aimed to equip young people with comprehensive digital skills by providing workshops, training sessions, and informational materials covering various areas such as information literacy, communication, digital content creation, safety, and problem-solving. Furthermore, we emphasized the importance of digital tools in professional fields, particularly environmental conservation, and shared real-world examples to inspire their engagement. Additionally, we promoted the ethical and sustainable use of digital tools by focusing on digital safety, privacy, cybersecurity, and responsible digital citizenship. Our goal was to empower young individuals to navigate the digital landscape confidently, adapt to the digital era, and contribute to a sustainable future.
