We want to carry out this project because young people today are growing up in a world where almost every aspect of their lives is connected to the digital space. Social media, online communication, streaming platforms, search engines, and now AI and VR are not just tools—they are the places where young people learn, meet friends, share their opinions, and even build their identities. These spaces bring many opportunities, but they also come with challenges that young people often feel unprepared for. Our motivation comes from the shared need to better understand these challenges, develop the skills to face them, and grow as responsible digital citizens. At the same time, we want to make sure that youth work links the digital dimension with values such as inclusion, resilience, and active participation, so that technology never replaces human connection but supports it. One of the clearest needs is related to online information. Many young people get their news from social media, where content is often incomplete, sensationalised, or designed only to get clicks. This can easily shape opinions without young people even noticing, and it is difficult to question because algorithms and peer influence push us to see more of the same. Constant exposure to this environment also affects mental wellbeing and trust, which is why building digital resilience is just as important as developing digital skills. Another pressing need comes from the rapid development of AI and VR, as well as the amount of personal data being collected every day. AI can now create realistic texts, images, and videos that blur the line between true and false, opening the door to manipulation and reinforcing stereotypes. At the same time, many young people do not understand how their data is used or what consequences it may have. By exploring these technologies together, we can help participants recognise risks but also discover how these tools can be used creatively and responsibly in youth work and beyond. Recent studies, such as the DESI report, remind us that young people’s digital skills are often overestimated. Knowing how to post, like, or comment does not mean being digitally literate. In reality, many young people—especially those with fewer opportunities—lack the competences to critically analyse content, verify sources, or understand how algorithms work. Our project responds to this by combining technical skills with social competences, empathy, and participation, making sure that no one is left behind in the digital transformation. From a youth work perspective, the objectives of our project are to improve media and digital literacy by helping participants understand how content is created and how to recognise bias and manipulation; to develop digital competences that go beyond surface-level use and include knowledge of algorithms, data collection, and AI tools; to build resilience and awareness in the online world, so that participants can protect their wellbeing and find healthier balance; to become more responsible and empowered citizens by connecting digital skills with social values, solidarity, and inclusion; and to promote networking and exchange of good practices, so that our organisations strengthen their capacity to work with digitalisation in youth work. In short, what we want to achieve is a balanced approach: to prepare young people to navigate the digital world with confidence, while staying rooted in human values and community. By doing this, we strengthen both individual competences and youth work practice, ensuring that digital transformation becomes a tool for participation, inclusion, and democracy, rather than a barrier.
