Digital culture catalyst
Awarded to youth workers who successfully worked on all tasks in this Digital culture catalyst badge! This badge recognises your proactive engagement in understanding and shaping a broad-minded and transformational working culture within youth work.
Skills and expertise gained
This badge aligns with the Digital Competences in Youth Work Framework and supports the development of the following:
- Shared guidelines and peer learning - Availability of shared guidelines: While not directly creating guidelines, the entire badge is about understanding, assessing, and shaping the organizational culture and its approach to digital work. A "broad-minded and transformational working culture" serves as a foundational shared guideline. The act of assessing the "digital capacities of youth work organisations" directly speaks to the presence and application of such internal "guidelines" or cultural norms.
- Identity growth - Identity growth of the youth worker: While broader, the badge contribute to your professional identity and growth by encouraging you to be "Digital Culture Catalysts" and proactively shape the future of your work. The "personal commitment" step also speaks to individual professional development.
As a Digital culture catalyst, you've explored how to foster a sense of belonging and inclusivity for both staff and young people, extending these values into our increasingly digital youth spaces. You've assessed current organisational dynamics, got insights from European reports, and collaboratively developed actionable strategies to champion digital competence and well-being. Your commitment is important in driving positive change and ensuring every individual thrives in the evolving youth work landscape.
