Pangaea Youth Network held a workshop at VIA University Campus in Horsens to share insights from the Erasmus+ training course “Empowering Voices: Digital Inclusion and EU Values in Youth Engagement.”

From Visibility to Voice

The Danish team engaged local youth in a vibrant discussion about the digital world and the importance of EU values such as inclusiveness, equity, and participation. Topics ranged from digital literacy and cyber security to the ethics of AI and inclusive design. Special focus was given to how youth can responsibly navigate and shape online environments. Most attendees had never taken part in Erasmus+ before, and many expressed interest in joining future projects.

Workshop Goals

  • Strengthen youth voice through online tools.

  • Explore digital ethics, accessibility, and misinformation.

  • Connect EU values to everyday online interactions.

Key Activities

  • Hashtag Hackathon – Teams designed campaigns that promoted inclusive messaging.

  • Filter-Free Talks – Participants shared personal experiences of exclusion in digital spaces.

  • AI & Ethics Debate – A student-led discussion on how new technologies intersect with human rights.

  • Accessibility Challenge – Youth explored browser tools that improve web access for everyone.

Participant Reflections

“We need fewer influencers and more includers.”
“I had no idea you could make your own site more accessible with one browser extension.”

Outputs and Legacy
A digital campaign starter kit and workshop summary were shared with local schools and youth centers. Several students were inspired to join future Erasmus+ programs, with guidance from the Pangaea Youth Network.
