DIGI YOUTH PORTAL

Aims of the tool

We wanted to create a place where youth worker, trainer, educator, young person, or anyone curious about anything digital connected with youth work and non-formal education, could find theoretical and practical inputs about the topics. We are striving to also provide space for community interested in using and creating digital tools for youth work and non-formal education, to grow together with the growth of this portal’s content.

Description of the tool

http://digiyouth.seeyn.org/
DIGI YOUTH is a collection of tools, experiences, inspiring practices, knowledge and resources about digital youth work/training and online learning. It is part of the project “Youth Work in Progress” , supported by European Union through the Erasmus + program, but this wasn’t the first initiative SEEYN had in the field of digital youth work and e-learning in non-formal education. Our journey into experimenting with the introduction of digital tools, and then online learning in our educational work, has been exciting, both encouraging and discouraging at times, but overall valuable experience that we are eager to share with you.

There are two main topics we are covering - online learning and digital tools:

Online learning covers information you need if you’d like to create online educational content, whether you are planning a webinar on a certain topic, online course or creating a complex platform for learning online. Here, we offer our understanding and approach to online learning in non-formal education, share our own experiences of our member organisations and partners, give some technical tips&tricks, but also invite community of youth workers, youth work trainers, educators and experts to share their experiences and views on the topic.

Digital tools offers resources that could be helpful if you want to enrich your activities with online and off-line digital tools. Whether you need answers to “Why using digital tools in youth work and non-formal education?” or “How do I choose appropriate tool for my activity?”, you’ll find it here. In case you need inspiration to choose the specific tool, there is our Toolbox of digital tools on your disposal.
