Digital Youth work project can be considered as born and raised inside the needs of the partner organizations for youth: everybody in the project team developed his/her trainer’s competencies during many years of experience in youth work, youth mobility, and exchanges funded by several projects; eventually, we as project partners met and developed the concept of this project as a practice of this training course. We believe that this project alone can make us a living example of the commitment of all partner organizations as well as youth institutions to develop digital skills and competencies. All partners are needed to ensure new technologies readily available to empower young people’s creativity and capacity for innovation, widening quality access to culture and creative tools, particularly those involving new technologies, as well as it is expected to promote specialized training in culture, new media and intercultural competences for youth workers.
