Nowadays, empowerment in the use of online educational processes is crucial. The current literature shows that new technologies can be relevant in social rehabilitation programs since they reduce mobility and allow personalized rehabilitative paths. Nevertheless, the use of new technologies requires specific and structured competences. Accordingly, the DSI project's principal objective was the definition of a basic portfolio for digital social innovation competences at a European level specifically designed for students in social educator study programs, employed/unemployed social educators, and social volunteers. All partners already developed educational programs addressed to social educators and used digital resources in their educational activity with vulnerable social groups.Accordingly, partners shared their competences in digital-based educational programs such as competences for children with behavioral disturbances, online social coaching, social telerehabilitation of vulnerable social groups, etc., in order to implement the basic portfolio for digital social innovation competences. For this purpose, they selected, analyzed, and commented on the best practices and methodologies about using digital technologies in designing, implementing, and running social innovation solutions. Social educators have been involved in all the project activities through meetings, seminars, and online discussions. A short term learning event has been organized involving educators and experts. In synthesis, the project reached the following objectives: • exchanging good practices between organizations active in social education and social innovation • increasing the competencies of social educators • defining a basic portfolio of competences for social educators and social volunteers in digital social innovation practices at a European level • creating a comprehensive (and commented) list of topics and practices essential for digital social innovation initiatives/activities • creating a network active in digital social innovation The main addressed needs were: • enhancing social inclusion improving professional competences of social educators and social volunteers in a topical sector such as digital social innovation and the use of technology for social rehabilitation practices; • educators empowerment in the use of online educational processes.
