20-25/3/2017 - DIG-IT up! Training course on including digital tools in Youth work, the basics of digital youth work (Ιταλία)

The aim of this training course is to provide new knowledge and skills and find creative ways on how to combine analog & outdoor activities in youth work with digital tools and apps that are used by youngsters through a hands-on approach and experience.

Participant Profile:
The target group is youth leaders, youth workers and trainers, willing to enhance their competences, flexibility and readiness in using digital devices, online mode and social media in their youth work.
We are looking for people who work with young people and:
• who know just the names of applications mentioned above, are digital-shy and don’t know what they mean,
• who use those apps fluently, but are willing to find out what more could be done with them,
• who are able to communicate and work in English (which will be the working language for the whole training course).
• who are able to attend the full training course.
• who wish to learn and teach others during discussions or peer evaluation.

We offer a learning-by-doing experience, or a hands-on approach, in the hackers’ slang: all participants will be driven into games, activities, treasure hunts, multimedia creations etc to learn techniques and approaches involving open air-and online worlds. Participants will discover the fun factor of including these tools in their youth work.
Additionally we want to bring on a discussion and reflection on the impact of social media on youth education, through input coming from TED-talk videos, sharing of experiences and best practices.
young people.
