About the project
SMART Youth Centre – Supporting Mobility Activities Running through Tech is a 24 -month Strategic Cooperation (Key Action 2 – KA2) about Digital Youth Work (DYW). More specifically, the Project aims to support and empower youth workers by developing their digital skills and competences to develop their own digital activities for youth, thus, contributing to the youth workers’ professional development and evolvement.
The aforementioned will be achieved through the various stages of the Project which include the training of the participating youth workers through MOOC (Mass Open Online Courses), the development of a VR Application, and its pilot application by the participants to implement their own digital activities, and lastly, the development of a Digital Toolbox with useful tools and methods regarding DYW.
