The “Digitalise It!” project was developed as a continuation and follow-up of a previous initiative in which partners explored, tested, and validated innovative digital tools such as digital storytelling and the “talent approach.” The main aim of the project was to further experiment with, share, and apply creative and digital methods that support youth empowerment and the social inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities or in vulnerable situations.
The project focused on highlighting the added value of digital tools in youth work, while also exploring their benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations. Through targeted training activities, it enhanced the digital competences of youth workers, equipping them with practical knowledge on how to use digital storytelling and other creative approaches in their work with young people. At the same time, the project created a safe and supportive environment for disadvantaged young people, encouraging them to reflect on their life stories, develop storytelling skills, and strengthen their self-confidence.
Participants were informed about their rights and empowered to stand up for them, gaining motivation for personal and social change. In parallel, the project strengthened the capacity of participating organizations by promoting networking, peer learning, and the exchange of good practices. In this way, it contributed to the development of more innovative and inclusive approaches within the youth sector.
The project was co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union and the Région Grand Est (France). The support of these institutions did not constitute an endorsement of the project’s content, and they cannot be held responsible for any use of the information produced within the project.
