CREATING SYNERGIES

INTRODUCING OPEN BADGES
as a method to validate and award the digital skills acquired by both young people and youth workers.
CREATING TRANSNATIONAL COOPERATION
between partners for the organisation of competitions, events, C1 mobility, digital movement as part of the EU strategy.
Stages
Research
During the first stage the consortium is conducting various surveys to identify the existing digital skills gap between young people’s abilities and the existing requirements of the job market.
Design
The second stage is about designing and developing all essential teaching and learning material to support the promote of deep-tech digital skills through synergies and hubs.
Testing
At the third stage a short-term training for youth workers will be organised to test all developed materials.
Implementation
After testing, the feedback will be incorporated into the designed product and presented again to the wider audience.
Dissemination
During the final phase of the project’s dissemination plan, which includes the completion of the planned activities and the implementation of the D(at)YW for digital literacy, each partner will organise a national conference in their country.
