Attitudes for Digital Youth Work
This badge is awarded to youth workers who have reflected on attitudes in their personal and professional development, especially in the context of digital youth work. Through the activity, they explored the ABC model of attitudes (Affect, Behaviour, Cognition) and identified key attitudes that support or hinder their engagement with digital tools, methods, and environments.
To earn this badge, a youth worker needed to:
- Reflect on a real digital youth work situation using the ABC model (Affect, Behaviour, Cognition)
- Analyse how personal or others’ attitudes influenced the situation, especially in digital or hybrid youth work contexts
- Identify at least two attitudes they wish to strengthen to support their digital competences and youth work practice
- Share their reflections through written, visual, or audio formats
Skills and experiences gained
This badge is aligned to the following Digital Competences in Youth Work (DYW SNAC) areas:
- Self-reflection and lifelong learning – by being aware of one’s own learning process and actively planning and engaging in lifelong and life-wide learning.
- Shared guidelines and peer learning – by engaging in shared understanding, peer learning and creating joint strategies with others.
- Facilitating inclusion and well-being – by showing empathy and promoting well-being and positive interaction in digital youth work settings.
- Learning and creativity with digital tools – by experimenting with and reflecting on the use of digital tools in creative ways for own learning and professional development.
This badge shows the earner’s ability to reflect on how attitudes influence their practice and learning in digital youth work. Cities of Learning Network partners value badge earners’ insights and issue this badge after reviewing the provided evidence.
