About

Our Project.

"DIGI-YOUTH KIT" is an initiative designed to enhance the digital transformation of youth centers and improve the skills of youth workers, coordinators, and animators. The project brings together 11 partners from France, Romania, Italy, Bulgaria, Greece, and Poland. It runs for 30 months, from December 31, 2023, to June 29, 2026.

 

Context

The project addresses the growing need for digital transformation in youth work, ensuring that youth centers and their personnel are equipped with essential digital and management skills. With the increasing role of digital tools in education and youth engagement, it is crucial to provide structured, accessible, and high-quality training resources that facilitate the adoption of new technologies.

Our products aim to provide an innovative and engaging approach to digital education, supporting youth workers in adapting to modern digital challenges. Through this project, we aim to build an informal network of youth centers across Europe, enhancing collaboration and knowledge exchange. The project responds to key challenges, including:

  • the need for digitalization and digital skill development for youth workers and coordinators;
  • the necessity of providing high-quality, scalable digital training for youth center professionals;
  • the importance of supporting youth centers in crisis situations by offering adaptable digital management tools.

By offering free and accessible training courses and digital resources, we strive to improve the quality of youth work and create long-term benefits for young people and youth organizations alike.

 

Objectives

1. Develop the digital competencies of at least 100 youth center coordinators and animators within 30 months.

2. Enhance digital readiness and management skills through online training courses for at least 100 youth workers in 30 months.

3. Engage at least 200 youth center professionals and young people in digital learning through an interactive e-game over 30 months.

4. Strengthen a network of at least 20 youth centers to promote collaboration and innovation in youth work.
