The digital field is one of our core directions aiming:
  • to offer digital empowerment through access to online tools, free education and networking

  • building digital skills for youth and youth workers (digital youth work);
  • tackling hate speech online;
  • digital citizenship education;
  • policymaking in the digital field.
