Exploring Digital Youth Work Quality Assessment
This badge is awarded for active learning from the online workshop of the Digital Systemic blended course: “Digital Youth Work Quality Assessment”.
During this 90-minute session, participants explored the following topics (view video recording and download slides):
- Quality - how we define it in Digital Youth Work and how we can measure it;
- Strategy - how organisations could build/improve their readiness for digital youth work;
- Exploration - what young people are passionate about in the digital realms, and how to build quality and strategy starting from this.
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 Digital Competence Framework for Youth Workers (DYW SNAC, 2023):
- Reflecting on digital youth work practice and improving its quality - Participants examined how to evaluate and enhance the quality of digital youth work services.
- Understanding digital transformation in youth work - The session supported critical thinking about how organisational strategies can facilitate systemic change.
- Using digital tools to foster peer learning and organisational improvement - Shared practices and collaborative discussion promoted continuous professional development.
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.
