Digital Transformation for the Future

Aims & objectives

The project DTF: Digital Transformation for Future aimed to train youth workers and young volunteers with digital skills and tools in order to create activities for unemployed young people to increase their chances to enter the job market.
According to the numerous analyses conducted, the issue of unemployment is one of the most critical to be solved; therefore, equipping Youth Workers with new world skills would give them the ability to realize themselves in the coming years.

The training course involved activities such as role play games, group discussion, practical experiments and sharing of best practices based on the non-formal learning methodology, related to digital tools and digital competencies, with a particular focus on online communication.

Objectives:
- Increase the digital skills and competencies of the participants of the project
- Provide digital tools and expertise to the participants of the project
- Equip youth workers with new instruments to engage the young people who are unemployed
- Equip the participants with competencies for creating digital learning activities specialized for unemployed young people.
Thanks to the project, the youth workers were able to reproduce in their organizations some job shadowing, mentorship and coaching activities on digital tools and competencies with their specific target groups.

Target group & international/intercultural composition of the group & team
