Digital Youth Work. Rights-sensitive, open, accessible, democratic. 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 acting in society and civically engaged. Education for Democratic Citizenship/Human Rights Education can make a meaningful contribution to digital youth work. On this page you find the resources created in the project DIYW-ROAD.
