In response to the growing need for digital literacy, the Erasmus+ funded DigiYouth project is making strides in equipping young Europeans with essential digital competencies. Co-funded by the Institute of Life-Long Learning (INEDIVIM), this initiative targets youth workers and young adults, emphasizing hands-on training and practical experience.


 

The project unfolds in three pivotal phases. Initially, the creation of an Educational Guide stands central. This guide, tailored specifically for youth trainers, provides a comprehensive toolkit designed to impart crucial digital skills effectively. It focuses on bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical applications, preparing trainers to tackle the digital challenges head-on.

The second phase, Training of Trainers, took place in Tripoli, Greece. Here, youth workers underwent intensive training to master the guide’s content, ensuring they are well-equipped to teach and inspire young individuals. This training not only boosts the trainers' confidence but also enhances their ability to foster digital literacy among youth.

The culmination of the project occurs in Bistrita, Romania, where the pilot phase with young participants is set. This segment involves implementing the educational guide in a series of simulated activities that replicate a real-world youth exchange program. Participants from Greece and Romania, aged 18 to 30, assess the content and effectiveness of the training, providing valuable feedback to refine the guide further.

DigiYouth not only focuses on improving digital skills but also aims to enhance multilingual and social competencies, enriching participants' interpersonal and cultural understanding. By working in a multicultural environment, young people gain the resilience and adaptability needed to succeed in a globally connected world.

As the project advances, the DigiYouth initiative promises significant contributions toward the digital readiness of Europe’s youth, preparing them for a successful career in an increasingly digitalized job market. Stay tuned for more updates as this exciting project evolves.
