Objectives

The "Digitalization of Youth Work" training course aimed to enhance media literacy skills through the use of documentary films and non-formal activities. By combining critical thinking and civic engagement with the visual power of films, this program educated and empowered youth workers, equipping them with essential skills to navigate and utilize digital media effectively. Main objectives of the project were: - Developing digital competences; - Supporting the development of digital education and training; - Encouraging the recognition of digital skills; - Encouraging young people to become leaders in their communities; - Professional development; - Networking and collaboration: To build partnership and future cooperation on the basis of this project under Erasmus+ and improve the quality of local and international youth work. - Intercultural learning: To get intercultural experience by meeting with the representatives of different countries, cultures, backgrounds, religions, practice tolerance and break stereotypes & prejudices; - Social inclusion; - Youth empowerment; - To promote cultural awareness, tolerance and solidarity between countries; - To develop training skills, communication skills, and organizational skills; By implementing this project, we aimed to equip young people with the necessary media literacy skills to navigate the digital world responsibly and critically. We sought to address the challenges caused by the overwhelming amount of information from various digital sources and the decline of traditional information gatekeepers. Our goal was to empower youth to understand and utilize digital media effectively, fostering their ability to seek out diverse perspectives, protect their privacy, and engage in the digital landscape safely. We intended to mitigate the risks of misinformation, cyberbullying, and online harm, while also promoting creativity, mental well-being, and active participation in democracy. The training course provided a valuable opportunity for young people to acquire new digital skills, knowledge, and competencies, beneficial for both their personal and professional futures and We believe our project made an important contribution to build stronger and more resilient communities.
