Training Course “Education for Digital Citizenship in Working with Young People” — A Week of Learning at the Braga Youth Centre
Training Course “Education for Digital Citizenship in Working with Young People” — A Week of Learning at the Braga Youth Centre
From 10 to 14 November, the Braga Youth Centre welcomed 20 youth workers from Croatia, Greece, Serbia and Portugal for an intensive week of learning, cooperation and exchange as part of the training course “Education for Digital Citizenship in Youth Work”.
The activity is part of the Education for Digital Citizenship in Youth Work project, an international initiative co-funded by Erasmus+ and co-organised by the Arka Foundation (Serbia), Udruga Delta (Croatia), the Braga Red Cross (Portugal) and Innovation Hive (Greece). The project aimed to stimulate skills in the field of digital citizenship and address the gaps that still exist in working with young people in various national contexts, contributing to a more conscious, critical and safe practice in the digital world.
Over five days, participants explored topics essential to working with young people in the digital context, namely:
- Digital rights and responsibilities
- Online safety
- Media literacy and critical thinking
- Hate speech and cyberbullying
- Digital activism and democratic participation
- Digital wellbeing
- Skills and tools for integrating Digital Citizenship Education into non-formal education activities
Based on non-formal education, this week combined theoretical sessions, practical activities, debates, group dynamics and spaces for reflection. The daily sessions were structured to promote the sharing of methodologies, the development of skills and the creation of international networks among professionals in the youth sector.
The lively atmosphere throughout the training was marked by cooperation, discovery and enthusiasm. For many, this week represented not only professional development, but also an opportunity to build bonds, exchange experiences and strengthen the quality of youth work in their communities.
