Theme

Ctrl+Alt+Solidarity training course is designed for organisations that want to enhance the digital dimension of their work within the ESC programme.

Digitalisation influences how young people communicate, participate, learn, engage in communities, and experience volunteering. For organisations active in the European Solidarity Corps, this creates both opportunities and challenges. Digital tools can support inclusion, solidarity, participation, communication, learning, reflection, recognition, and dissemination, but they also raise important questions related to access, ethics, sustainability, quality, and impact.

This training course will offer a space for participants to explore the concept of digital youth work, understand its relevance in the ESC context, exchange practices, discover tools and methods, and reflect on how to strengthen digital empowerment in their own organisational reality. The programme will explore how digital youth work and digital empowerment can be meaningfully integrated into European Solidarity Corps projects. Participants will reflect on their organisation’s digital needs, strengths, and gaps, while discovering tools and approaches that can support learning, reflection, recognition, participation, and project quality. Participants will also strengthen their understanding of DigComp, media literacy, critical thinking, and the ethical use of AI, and will be supported in turning these insights into concrete action for their future project cycle and organisational development.

The course combines conceptual input, peer learning, practical exchange, self-assessment, reflection, examples of good practice, and action planning.

Aim of the training

The training aims to strengthen the capacity of organisations active in the European Solidarity Corps to understand, use, and strategically integrate digital youth work in their projects, in ways that enhance solidarity, participation, inclusion, quality, and organisational development

• Exchange digital practices and methods that can support ESC activities
