Our contemporary world is experiencing a profound digital transformation, alongside ongoing social changes, which calls for parallel paths of personal development. To find balance in this process, it is necessary not only to rely on social policies but also to nurture awareness and growth at the level of each individual. Through this project, we aim to support young people aged 14–17 from diverse cultural and social backgrounds in adapting to the digital society. The project seeks to strengthen their ability to access reliable information, communicate effectively in digital spaces, create digital content, ensure digital security, and develop problem-solving skills in online environments. By bringing together students from six secondary schools in six different countries, we want to contribute to their personal development while making the challenges they face more visible. Digital interaction among peers plays a crucial role in supporting their social growth and boosting their self-confidence. Digitalisation has also reshaped the role of teachers and educators. By using technology effectively, teachers can enrich students’ learning experiences and help them benefit from the positive aspects of the digital world. For young people, digital literacy has become essential for meaningful learning. They need to know how to identify trustworthy information online and how to protect themselves through basic digital safety measures. This transformation in education reflects the growing importance of 21st-century skills such as digital and media literacy. Yet, digitalisation has also widened inequalities between individuals and communities. With this project, we want to address these inequalities by helping young people access digital tools, use them responsibly, and understand both the risks and opportunities of the digital era. In Bratislava, where the coordinating school is based, digital transformation is a key priority in national education policies and is actively supported by both public and private institutions. Kings Schools International has already been contributing to this process with school-based digital initiatives, and this project will strengthen these efforts in cooperation with partner schools across Europe. As of 2023, around 90% of young people in Slovakia are internet users, but awareness of digital skills remains low in rural areas. In Portugal, 95% of young people are connected, yet digital competences are increasingly linked to employability. In Spain, 98% of young people have access to the internet, but almost one quarter of those from disadvantaged backgrounds face digital exclusion. In Ukraine, while 80% of young people are active online, their awareness of online safety is limited. In Georgia, around 60% of youth lack basic digital competences. In Türkiye, despite high access rates, young people still struggle with identifying reliable information and ensuring digital safety. Based on our previous cooperation in various Erasmus+ initiatives, we engaged in dialogue with our partner schools and identified common needs, particularly highlighted during and after the pandemic. To better understand these needs, we conducted a survey among students aged 14–17, as well as through social media channels. The main challenges identified were: 1. Academic challenges: difficulties in using digital technologies effectively in schools 2. Digital literacy gaps: vulnerability to fake news, online safety threats, and other risks 3. Reduced employment opportunities: future jobs increasingly demand digital skills 4. Digital exclusion: risk of being isolated from society and opportunities These issues negatively affect young people’s personal, social-educational, and professional development, leading to missed opportunities, weaker communication skills, and reduced participation in their communities. Together with our partners, we plan to address these challenges through activities that focus on: 1. Accessing reliable information in digital environments 2. Building communication and cooperation through digital platforms 3. Creating and sharing digital content 4. Developing digital safety and security practices 5. Finding solutions to problems encountered in online contexts Through these activities, participants will not only gain essential digital competences but also strengthen their awareness of the EU’s Digital Europe strategy, the general objectives of the Erasmus+ programme, and the priorities of the EU Youth Strategy. Moreover, they will enhance their intercultural dialogue skills and improve their capacity to learn together in an inclusive, collaborative way.
