Youth Work in the Digital Age

This project will be implemented by Cultivate Cornwall CIC. The training course “Youth Work in the Digital Age” will take place in Cornwall, United Kingdom and take 7 days in November and it will involve Youth workers from 7 different countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Turkey and United Kingdom). “Youth Work in the Digital Age” is a training course concentrates on the European Union Youth Strategy, focusing on investing in skills employers look for, such as entrepreneurship and organizational skills. Main activities of the course are related to using and managing ICT (Information and Communication Tools), developing youth entrepreneurship and promoting quality of their work. By merging knowledge from different sources and applying active work methods, such as workshops, working in groups and presentations, the organisers would like to improve participants’ competences and develop a broader understanding of practices, policies and systems in education, to make them more employable. The project will improve participants’ knowledge of usage of digital tools to increase participants’ skills related to marketing and digital technology; provide greater understanding of the labour market and increase opportunities for young people's career development. A deeper familiarization with interconnections between formal and non-formal education, better knowledge of global fundraising tools and wider understanding of cultural diversity are other outcomes that come from the course.
