Digital Wise
Digital wise project aims to address social inclusion of youth through digitalisation and digital information. The main objective is to develop digital skills of young people to develop their social participation.
Context
Today, digitalisation is an important part of the work done by youth organisations. It is often admitted that digital tools allow to reach and include more young people, particularly those who are difficuly to reach because of social, geographical, economical or cultural barriers. Inequalities between young people caused by variable access to digital tools can lead to a higher risk of lost of employment and income.
So, it is important for Digital Wise partners to address the issue of inequalities in young people’s digital skills, so they can have the same opportunities for education, learning and employment.
