Digital technologies are changing the world at an incredible speed and are reshaping how people in Europe live, work and study. Ongoing digital transformation impacts many parts of our daily life, from the ever- increasing integration of digital technologies in all sectors of the economy to the societal impact of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). Well before the COVID-19 crisis, evidence was clear on the need to support digital competence development of adults and young people in Europe. Today more than ever, being digitally competent is both a necessity and a right. However, digital skills levels across Europe remain unsatisfactorily low, with 44% of EU citizens having an insufficient level of
digital skills.

Through this project, we propose to increase the quality of Digital Youth Work of NGOs;

Objective 1: To improve the proficiency level for DigCompOrg - "Teaching& learning practices" key element, "Digital Compentence of staff and students" sub-element, for 9 Youth NGOs, until the end of the project.

Objective 2. To upskill 32 youth workers' digital competences for 9
international NGOs, from Newcomer (A1) to Expert (B2) measured as
proficiency level in Digital Competence Framework for Educators
(DigCompEdu), by the end of the project.
