Project DIYW-ROAD: Digital Youth Work – rights sensitive, open, accessible and democratic

Digital transformation is a process that affects the whole of society – the economy, the state, politics, civil society or the environment. In order to empower young people to go beyond ‘catching up’ or ‘getting to know’ digital infrastructures and technologies, a pedagogy of ‘the digital’ is needed that supports them to co-determine how digitalisation should evolve in terms of democratic and sustainable development and in the areas in which they are civically engaged. Education for Democratic Citizenship/Human Rights Education can make a meaningful contribution to digital youth work.
