DIGI-Youth Impact
About DIGI-Youth Impact
The DIGI-Youth Impact project was an Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership in Youth aimed at strengthening the quality and relevance of Digital Youth Work across Europe by promoting an approach grounded in human rights, democratic participation and digital innovation. As digital environments increasingly influenced how young people communicated, learned, participated and engaged with society, the project addressed the need for youth organisations and youth workers to strengthen their competences, methodologies and tools to ensure that digital youth work remained inclusive, responsible and accessible.
Through cooperation between organisations from Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Türkiye, DIGI-Youth Impact combined research, capacity building, practical experimentation and policy dialogue. The project supported youth workers and organisations in improving their digital practices, empowered young people to participate actively in democratic and civic life, and developed practical tools and recommendations that contributed to more inclusive and rights-based youth work across Europe.
Main objectives
- Assess the digital maturity of youth organisations across Europe and identify existing needs, challenges and good practices in Digital Youth Work;
- Develop a European Human Rights-Based Digital Youth Work Framework to support youth organisations and youth workers in integrating human rights principles into their digital activities;
