Grow With Purpose: Strengthening Your Digital Practice
Grow With Purpose: Strengthening Your Digital Practice
Content
This learning playlist guides youth workers through a reflective and practical journey to understand, assess, and develop their digital competencies using a competence-based approach.
Through a series of six activities, participants explore key concepts such as what competences are, how attitudes and values shape digital youth work practice, and how to assess and grow through self-awareness and strategic planning.
The playlist supports youth workers in identifying their learning needs, mapping digital development priorities, and drafting a personal development plan, equipping them to lead their own learning and contribute to digital transformation in youth work.
All activities are based on the Digital Competences in Youth Work (DYW SNAC) framework and include videos, self-assessment tools, and structured reflection tasks.

- Start with You: What Competence Means in Digital Youth Work

Who created this resource?
This playlist and its activities were developed by members of the Cities of Learning Network as part of the DIGITAL SYSTEMIC project - an Erasmus+ co-funded cooperation partnership focused on the systemic development of digital youth work.
The content draws on the Digital Competences in Youth Work (DYW SNAC) framework, the YOCOMO MOOC, and resources co-created by strategic partnerships and national agencies across Europe. It integrates insights from multiple European research studies and tools supporting competence-based learning and digital transformation in youth work.
The learning design follows the standardised approach used on the Digital Youth Work platform and Cities of Learning, combining structured reflection, practical tasks, and Open Badge recognition to support lifelong learning and professional development.
