Exploring Digital Infrastructure for Youth Work
This badge is awarded for active learning from the online workshop of the Digital Systemic blended course: “Digital Infrastructure”.
During this 90-minute session, participants explored the following topics (view video recording and download slides):
- Why is digital infrastructure a crucial foundation that allows us to effectively engage young people online.
- What does digital infrastructure encompasses and how this is not only technology like equipment (laptops, cameras), software, and reliable internet, but also the vital human elements.
- What are key components of digital infrastructure (accessible tech, skills and support and inclusive design)
The workshop included interactive elements, such as online polling (see Mentimeter results) and breakout room discussions (access Padlet), which encouraged participants to reflect on their digital youth work roles and share practice-based insights.
Participation in this workshop contributes especially to developing the following competences from the DYW Assessment tool on "Digital Capacities of Youth Work Organisations". Upon participating in the workshop and completing the accompanying activity "Understanding Digital Infrastructure for Youth Work", participants will raise:
- Awareness of digital infrastructure as a foundation for digital youth work
- Advocacy for equitable access to digital tools and safe online environments
- Contributions to long-term strategic planning for digital transformation
- Commitment to youth-centred, inclusive digital systems
This workshop contributes to strengthening human resources and competence development, as outlined in the Digital Capacities of Youth Work Organisations (DYW SNAC, 2023). It supports organisations in building structured, strategic approaches to developing digital competences among staff and volunteers.
The Cities of Learning Network appraises participants' engagement in developing digital youth work competencies through structured, non-formal online learning.
