eLearning Platform

The consortium of the Digital Youth project is pleased to announce the successful completion of its second project result, which involved the development of an eLearning Environment. We actively worked on creating a free, engaging and interactive eLearning Environment that serves as the home for a number of tools and resources. Most importantly, the eLearning Platform hosts the Digital Youth eLearning Course which is comprised by three (3) blended learning modules – aiming at enhancing the skills and competencies of youth workers and of adults working within the youth work field. This eLearning Platform also hosts a wealth of additional resources to support youth workers and trainers in their digital youth work, including articles, publications, handbooks, podcasts, videos and digital tools. You can access the eLearning Platform here. Our platform has also been tested by experienced youth workers across all partner countries in order to shape it further according to their needs. The feedback collected has been adapted in order to optimise the experience of its users.

The eLearning Environment was produced by the entirety of the  consortium, with the leadership and guidance of CARDET, in the framework of Digital Youth project, a project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union Grant Agreement Number: K2021-1-CY02-KA220-YOU-000029051.
