Digital Competence Framework for Youth Workers
The Cities of Learning platform offers organisers adding skills and competences from the Digital competences for youth workers. Youth workers need digital skills to support young people in a connected world. The Digital Competence Framework for Youth Workers helps them understand those skills. It covers using digital tools safely, supporting young people online, creating digital content, and understanding how technology affects society. The framework is built for both new and experienced youth workers.
When creating Activities, Organisers can add specific Skills tags (see Help article on using Use skills, competence and qualification frameworks).
You can find the following Digital Competences for youth work Model competences available as Skills tags.
