Use the "ASSESSMENT TOOL ON DIGITAL CAPACITIES OF YOUTH WORK ORGANISATIONS" to evaluate your organisations digital infrastructure capacities (pages 21 - 22).
Use the provided assessment grid to self-assess the 2 main sub-elements within the "infrastructure" capacity:
- Provision of necessary technologies and competences
- Towards inclusive digital youth work
Oppgavenr.2
Bevis bekreftet av: en aktivitetsarrangør
Find 1-3 additional resources (try local/national, if not use international) that talk about digital infrastructure for digital youth work and answer the following:
- Explore and share how digital technology is transforming youth work (in your country) and what do experts identify as main opportunities and/or risks.
- Find and share examples or experience where infrastructure made or broke a digital youth work initiative. You can use international examples (but please name them and add links) or draw from your own experiences and practice.
- Propose a realistic step that could improve digital readiness in your youth work environment.

Discover Digital Infrastructure in Unlikely Places: Make a quick desk research and find good practice examples of digital infrastructure from outside the youth work field.
Many organisations that do not define themselves as “youth work” actors still create impactful digital opportunities for young people — often without even realizing it. From libraries and makerspaces to tech start-ups, social enterprises, and digital literacy NGOs, there are inspiring initiatives out there that provide access, skills, and support through well-planned digital infrastructure.
Identify 1–2 organisations, projects, or initiatives (local, national, or international) that demonstrate good use of digital infrastructure to support learning, participation, creativity, or inclusion.
These can be schools, tech hubs, online platforms, innovation labs, media education initiatives, etc.
Reflect on what youth work can learn from these examples:
- What aspects of digital infrastructure stand out?
- How do they engage young people?
- Could similar models be adopted in youth work?
Tip: Think beyond hardware. Consider how access, design, partnerships, or sustainability are part of their approach.
Optional: Share links, visuals, or short descriptions of what you found with the community!
