★★★★Up to date

Online professional-development course designed to strengthen the skills and competences of youth workers, covering reaching out to young people, cooperation with relevant stakeholders, policy impact in youth work, and the use of ICT tools.

Why it matters for ENACT-AI

The course is relevant mainly through its digital-competence and ICT dimension rather than through explicit AI education. Its focus on the use of digital tools can provide a foundation for youth workers to integrate digital technologies into youth work, but the available platform information does not establish that the course specifically addresses generative AI, AI ethics, AI-generated content or critical AI literacy.

Learning outcomes

Strengthen professional youth-work competences, improve outreach to young people, develop cooperation with relevant stakeholders, understand policy impact in youth work, and improve the use of ICT and digital tools in youth work.

Suggested activity

Complete the ICT/digital-tools component and ask participants to identify digital tools they currently use in youth work, assess their benefits and risks, and consider where AI-based tools could support youth work while maintaining human judgement, privacy and safeguarding.
