Digitalisation has the potential to both include and exclude. According to the resource Young People, Social Inclusion and Digitalisation, digital youth work must go beyond access and be actively designed for inclusion.
Key ideas include:
- Not all young people experience the digital world equally.
- Digital spaces must be intentionally inclusive and safe.
- Inclusion involves recognising intersecting identities and needs.
- Youth participation is key to inclusive digital practices.
Watch the following videos to understand better the digital divide and how to overcome gaps through digital inclusion. Key barriers to digital inclusion and participation explored in videos:
- Not having a suitable internet connection
- Not having suitable digital devices
- Digital tools and platforms lacking accessibility
- Lack of digital skills
- Web content isn't accessible enough
- Virtual communities and spaces aren't welcoming, inclusive and safe
Take action: activities for different roles.
