With the EU Networking Lab for AI & Digital Youth Work, we want to respond to one of the most urgent questions facing youth work today: how can youth workers use artificial intelligence and digital technologies in a way that empowers young people rather than leaving them vulnerable? Youth organisations across Europe are experimenting in this field, but too often they do so in isolation. Many youth workers lack confidence to talk about AI, digital safety or online wellbeing with young people, even though these topics shape their daily lives. At the same time, there is no established European cooperation network that connects organisations willing to explore these challenges together. Through this project we want to change that. Our main ambition is to create a safe and creative space where youth workers from diverse contexts can meet, exchange, and begin long-term cooperation on the themes of AI, digital literacy, cybersecurity and responsible innovation. The project is designed not as a training course where knowledge flows in one direction, but as a Partnership-Building Activity where youth workers learn from each other and transform their shared concerns into concrete strategies and future collaborations. From the perspective of youth work practice, our objectives are clear: - To strengthen the competences of youth workers in understanding AI, digital transformation and online safety, so they can integrate these topics confidently into their daily work with young people. - To exchange and collect good practices already used in different countries, and make them accessible to others through open digital resources. - To develop at least seven new Erasmus+ project ideas that continue the work, focusing on youth exchanges, training courses and partnerships related to digital youth work and inclusion. - To establish a sustainable European network (TECHHUB) connecting at least 30 organisations that will continue cooperation, knowledge-sharing and advocacy beyond the lifetime of the project. - To ensure that youth work practice evolves with the realities of young people’s lives, making digital transformation a field where inclusion, human rights and empowerment remain central values. In short, what we want to achieve is not just one successful activity, but a turning point for European youth work in the digital era — where organisations stop working in isolation and start building a shared movement for responsible, ethical and future-ready digital youth work.
