In recent years, it has been shown that the professionals are highly qualified. But as soon as digital media is involved they often seem to knock over their professional standards.

It is our responsibility to create an awareness of literacy and digital responsibility considering the new patterns of communication and social action that is possible in the new digital world.

“Digital Skills for You(th)” was a project funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission with a duration from January 2017 to Feburary 2019. The project adressed professionals working with socially disadvantaged and therefore especially vulnerable children and adolescents.

The project consortium of German, Spanish and Czech partners examined the educational and further training possibilities regarding digital issues for these professionals in these three European countries. On the basis of this knowledge, a training in blended learning design was developed. This training focuses on a strength-oriented approach for the young vulnerable target group concerning digital opportunities and challenges regarding their personal and professional development and an active participation in society.
