INCLUdiNG: INCLUsive DIgital capacities for youNGsters

Description

NOTE: THE PROJECT WAS SUBMITTED IN THE LAST ERASMUS CALL. WE HAVE ADAPTED THE PROJECT ACCORDING TO ALL THE EVALUATOR’S COMMENTSWe are immersed in an Era in which the development of ICTs has been growing too fast. Unfortunately, the provision of digital literacy in schools and other education centres has not been developed at the same speed.As a result of this, youngsters do not have solid tools for their professional life that allow them to fully participate in the society. Youngsters have basic skills and are in touch with the most popular tools, although in some cases, these are not the most appropriate for their professional paths. This specially occurs with youngsters who are at risk of marginalisation or have fewer opportunities. They face obstacles to access to high quality education and digital sources/devices. They are not aware of the benefits the Digital Era brings and do not have access to advanced and professional applications.The report Being young in Europe Today- Digital World, from Eurostat (2016) shows alarming statistics from young people. Only half of youngsters have created presentations or documents that integrate text, pictures, tables or charts (59%) and used a spreadsheet (52 %).The lack of skills in youngsters is addressing a big challenge in Europe. With the introduction of ever more sophisticated digital technologies, having sufficiently skilled people to develop and use these technologies is essential, as now-a-days it has delivered negative consequences such as:-Unemployment-Social exclusion in youngsters-Inappropriate use of technologies (cyberbullying, fake news, etc.)-No fully exploitation of new digital technologies, etc.Our strategic partnership, composed by AENIE, Permacultura Cantabria and Future in Perspective, carried out a Context Analysis, Focus Groups and Gap Analysis that demonstrate an urgent need to tackle this situation.We will carry out the project INCLUdiNG (INCLUsive DIgital capacities for youNGsters), composed by the following main objectives and activities: Objective 1: To exchange ICT knowledge and tools focused on Political, Economic (Efficiency), Social and Technological perspectives.Activities: *Participatory Visits in Portugal and Ireland to share all the knowledge and tools each partner apply within their organisations linked with the 4 perspectives. Objective 2: To create a new methodology for the development of lifelong digital capacities.Activities: *Creation of an Intellectual Output: We will create a new methodology which will be based on the knowledge acquired in Ireland and Portugal. The methodology will be documented in an interactive book that will be used by youth workers, young learners and organisations. The final versions of the book will be in English, Portuguese, Spanish and Irish.*Course in Spain: We will carry out a course in Spain to transfer the new methodology to youth workers and youngsters and to evaluate the interactive book.Objective 3: To empower youth with lifelong learning digital capacities.*Dissemination campaign: Through a strong dissemination campaign, youth communities will have access to the interactive book and will be able to acquire lifelong learning ICTs capacities. The dissemination campaign includes different activities, such as:-Multiplier Events: We will carry out one conference in Portugal, Ireland and Spain to disseminate the intellectual output.-Internal workshops: The participants who attended the course in Spain will organize internal workshops to transfer the methodology to their communities.In addition we will carry out 3 transnational meetings for the efficient project management:-Kick of Meeting in Spain.-Intermediate Meeting in Ireland-Final Meeting in PortugalAll learning activities (Participatory visits, Course in Spain, internal workshops, etc.), as well as the interactive book, will be based in non-formal learning.As a summary of the impact of the project, young people and youth workers acquire lifelong capacities that compose the new methodology: Digital skills in Political, Economic-Efficiency, Social and Technological perspectives.We also expect that our strategic partnership contributes to foster inclusion in young people in our countries. The development of high quality digital skills will empower youngsters in their professional life.
