Training course description:

This training course offers a structured opportunity to explore the DigComp framework and strengthen digital youth work practices, equipping youth workers with knowledge, tools, and inspiration to support young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, in developing their digital competences. Through a carefully designed program based on non-formal education and experiential learning, participants will be introduced to the five competence areas of the DigComp framework and learn how to apply them in youth work contexts.

Participants will explore topics such as digital literacy, online safety, collaboration tools, digital creativity, and problem-solving, with a focus on youth-friendly approaches and inclusive strategies. The course will also provide space for examining how digital tools can foster participation, engagement, and empowerment of young people in their communities, especially in today’s technology-driven world. Throughout the training, Erasmus+ opportunities and the Youthpass tool will be integrated as frameworks for recognition and future engagement.

The training will move beyond theoretical input by engaging participants in simulation activities, collaborative planning, hands-on workshops, peer exchanges, and structured reflection. Special attention will be given to practical application of DigComp in youth work, co-creation of tools and workshops, and the design of follow-up activities that will be implemented at local level after the training. These follow-up actions aim to multiply the impact by promoting digital literacy among young people and strengthening the digital capacities of participating youth organizations.

In the final part of the training, participants will work in teams to develop local action plans for workshops and activities tailored to young people’s needs in their communities. These will be shared and refined through peer and trainer feedback sessions. The training concludes with evaluation, reflection, and the Youthpass ceremony, celebrating the personal and professional development of each participant and the collective achievements of the group.
