About the Digital Competence Check
This playlist is directly linked to Competence Area 1 of the Digital Competence Check, which is based on the European DYW SNAC Model. The Check covers 5 areas, 14 specific competences, and 38 indicators, helping you to map your starting proficiency level. By following this playlist, you will specifically target and improve the skills identified as areas for development.
This playlist features activities from the platform, all directly connected to this competence area. It is up to you to decide which activities are the most interesting and relevant for your professional development.
Within each activity, you will find four different badges. One badge is specifically intended for the Youth Worker. There are also badges for the Youth Worker's Manager and for Young People, should you wish to involve them in your development. This joint growth path is essential and is rooted in the Digital Systemic Team approach. Evidence shows that digital youth work is best realised when these four roles (Youth Worker, Manager, Young Person) collaborate.
Theme: Competence Area 1: Supporting Creative Self-Expression
Welcome to the fundamentals of digital youth work! This playlist focuses on your ability to inspire young people to create. It is about deploying the right digital tools and methods to help young people produce their own digital content.
Whether it is video, music, gaming, or other digital forms, the goal is to create an environment where young people view technology as an accessible and fun means of expression. In this playlist, you will learn how to encourage this "Do It Yourself" (DiY) mentality and establish the necessary conditions for young creators.
Key Focus Areas in this Playlist:
- Effective use of devices and digital tools (C1.1).
- Stimulating and guiding the production of digital content (C1.2).
- Creating a digital 'playground' where creativity and fun converge (C1.3).
