Ambitious and achievable :)

Limited infrastructure

2024-06-19 09:35:37 UTC

No access to (good) internet, affordable PCs

2024-06-19 09:36:41 UTC

Many of the youth are illiterate

Missing digital literacy

2024-06-19 09:36:45 UTC

We are working with young low-skilled adults. They are super good on the mobile phone, but often have problems to work on an acctual PC or send an email.

I don't know if everyone has access to technology, no acces to internet.
I think this aspect is a big challenge

Limited offer

2024-06-19 09:37:09 UTC

their is not a lot of offer of digital training programs or employment opportunities

2024-06-19 09:37:14 UTC

Poor knowledge of the national language

lack of available onlinev educational programs

Creative methods

We trained young NEETs in film-making with their phones and it worked :)

I think that in our case NGOs are the most suitable

COVID Adaptations

2024-06-19 09:38:23 UTC

During Covid everything had to happen online, and somehow it still worked and our trainers were still surprised

testing different approaches and strategies

Teachers and schools

2024-06-19 09:39:34 UTC

Many schools, especially in rural areas, do not have teachers who are skilled enough to be able to teach youth about digital literacy and show them the ropes, school programs are definitely not in line with needs and 21st century

2024-06-19 09:40:26 UTC

Networking, experience exchange and brainstorming, advocacy

for the governments it is cruical to develop and adopt inclusive outreach programs

considering the target group, digital tasks can be challenging from the point of view of technology, but also from the point of view of infrastructure. I think that at least a face-to-face meeting would help to facilitate the digital process

for all sectors it is important to closely coordinate activities and interventions

maybe they could facilitate access to the infrastructure so that these young people can easily be part of the learning process
