Digital Youth Worker
Digital Youth Work, means proactively using or addressing digital media and technology in youth work. Digital Youth work is not a youth work method but instead it can be included in any youth work setting (open youth work, youth information and counselling, youth clubs, detached youth work, ect.) and they both share the same goals.
This definition is given by the EC Publication: “Developing Digital Youth Work – Expert Group Set Up under the European Union Work Plan for Youth 2016-2018” that also highlights the importance in this new digital era, to upskill youth workers’ digital competences, in particular in these specific fields (to be added/combined to the most traditional key competences already set for youth work, such as non-formal learning, management of mobility and volunteering projects, facilitation skills, etc):
• Using Social Media in Sharing Information
• Online Youth Counselling
• Support Digital Literacy
• Enabling Participation with Digital Tools
• Supporting Cultural Youth Work online
• Supporting the development of technological skills
• Using Digital Games in Youth Work
