Young Digital Leaders is a Europe-wide education pilot project aiming to empower young people through digital citizenship, critical thinking and media literacy skills, so that they can become tomorrow’s digital leaders.
The project, developed in partnership with
Google, was created in order to equip young people with
the skills they need to be safe, powerful and effective
online citizens in the 21st century, and to explore
new ways of teaching digital citizenship in formal
educational settings in Europe. The pilot phase has
pioneered a unique, collaborative partnership model
between students, teachers, parents and local civil
society organisations across Europe.
GEYC is one of the three organisations at European level that has delivered trainings on digital citizenship, critical thinking and media literacy skills. The project had positive results in improving fundamental digital citizenship capacities among students, especially increasing their digital skills and knowledge.
