Digitalisation of youth organisations' work - the new era: benefits & challenges
This questionnaire is part of the research under the project “DigitalYOu – Digitalization of Youth Organizational Work”, and refers to representatives of youth organizations, which:
     *  are active at local, regional, national or European level;
     *  are coming from one of the Erasmus+ program countries;
     *  already use some digital tools in their work.

The "Digital YOu" project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, with the main goal to empower youth organizations across Europe to meet the needs of the digital shift of youth work by increasing their capacities, providing up-to-date knowledge and creating innovative digital tools. This questionnaire will help us explore the capacities of Youth Organisations for the transition to digital work and the challenges and obstacles they encounter in the process of digitization. The collected results  will be used in the following phases of the project, as a basis for the development of the necessary tools to support Youth Organisations in transferring their work to the digital world.

The questionnaire is anonymous and serves the purpose of the research only.1
