Youth Work in the Digital Age
Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

“Youth Work in the Digital Age” is a training course concentrates on the European Union Youth Strategy, focusing on investing in the skills employers look for, such as entrepreneurship and organizational skills. The main activities of the course are related to using and managing ICT (Information and Communication Tools), developing youth entrepreneurship and promoting the high 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 course is mainly intended for young people experienced in youth work, entrepreneurship and digital marketing; but also for young people facing economic or social obstacles and representatives of NEETs’. Participants must be over 18 years old, have an access to a digital device and be able to attend the full project duration. The project will improve participants knowledge and usage of digital tools to increase participants’ skills related to marketing and 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. “Youth Work in the Digital Age” is taking place in Falmouth, United Kingdom. It will be carried out from 1 May, 2016 to 31 December, 2016. Activities of the project will take place between the 10th and 17th September 2016 with 30 participants who will come from 7 different countries.
