- Identify Youth Needs: Reflect on the young people you work with. Have you noticed any struggles they have with digital tasks? Make a list of their specific digital challenges (e.g., applying for jobs online, understanding government letters).
- Collaborate with a Partner: Reach out to a potential partner—a local library, a community center, or another relevant organization. Schedule a meeting to discuss their digital inclusion efforts for youth and how you can collaborate.
- Lead an Activity: Plan and execute a small, targeted activity for young people in collaboration with your partner. This could be a joint workshop, a "digital help desk" session, or an organized visit.
- Reflect and Share: After the activity, gather feedback from participants and write a short reflection on how your actions impacted the young people you helped and what you learned from the experience.
