The D@YW project is innovative in designing a comprehensive Toolkit and Knowledge Kit to develop, implement and monitor various inclusive strategies. It aims to promote awareness of digital possibilities in youth work to bridge the digital gap and foster partnerships between youth work, stakeholders, institutions, the labour market, policy actors, ICT experts, suppliers and companies. This is achieved through the constructive use of time outside working hours to establish DIGITAL@YOUTHWORK Clubs / Labs, offering opportunities for participation to young people with fewer opportunities, especially young women and girls. In addition, it seeks to create synergies between youth organisations, schools and the business world to bridge the skills gap between education and the labour market. It introduces free-to-use badges as a method to validate and reward the digital skills acquired by young people and youth workers, providing transferability, credibility and transparency. It also promotes transnational cooperation between companies to organise competitions, events, C1 mobility and digital movement as part of the EU strategy. The main target group is young people aged 16-22 with needs, especially women, as indicated in the Digital Action Plan 2018. Also indirectly benefiting are youth workers, whose profiles will be updated and strengthened.
The main objective of the project is to strengthen the profiles of youth workers and improve the quality of youth work through the development of a Comprehensive Tool Kit. This kit will be accompanied by new teaching and learning materials designed to support young people’s acquisition of digital and technological skills. The initiative is aligned with the objectives set out in recent European Union reports, such as the Digital Action Plan 2018, the New Skills Agenda 2017 and the Renewed Key Competencies 2018. The main focus of the project is to close the digital divide in the field employment and promote the development of digital and technological capabilities among young people.
