Digital trends in youth work

Digital trends in youth work

In this chapter you will learn more about digital trends in youth work. You will be able to find resources for understanding and better approach youth communities:
  • what digital tools the target group is using,
  • what is the best method of disseminating the material resources
  • what is the advantage of apps, games, platforms most often used by young people so that youth workers understand the digital trends so that they can reach young people more easily
  • how to transfer knowledge through apps and youth language
  • tools for gamification, adjusting social media tools to make training materials more appealing to young people (the idea of a game used by young people for example, gamers);
  • JAMBOARD - how to use the digital whiteboard. Examples of activities: working with stickers on a flipchart, on sections; how to organize a virtual public café and transfer the results/the information
  • STORING tool – storing data in the cloud and drives where it is more accessible
  • How to integrate Kahoot & Cava in youth work.
