On October 15, 2024, the Pangaea Youth Network organized a follow-up workshop in Odense, Denmark, inspired by the Erasmus+ training course Digital Youth Work for Social Inclusion, held earlier in September in Budapest, Hungary. The session aimed to share the knowledge and methods acquired during the training with local youth workers, students, and community educators.
The workshop began with an interactive presentation introducing key concepts such as the digital divide, accessibility design, and the importance of ethical digital communication. Facilitators also discussed the Erasmus+ programme’s role in promoting democratic participation and active citizenship in the digital sphere.
Participants engaged in practical exercises focusing on video creation, inclusive design principles, and ICT tools for social youth work. Working in small groups, they developed ideas for digital projects addressing local community challenges, from supporting elderly citizens online to improving access to digital learning for disadvantaged youth.
The event took place at the University of Southern Denmark, gathering ten participants who actively exchanged ideas and experiences. The atmosphere was collaborative and empowering, fostering a sense of social responsibility and shared commitment to digital inclusion.
The Odense workshop reaffirmed the mission of the Digital Youth Work for Social Inclusion project — demonstrating how digital skills can help bridge social gaps, empower young people, and strengthen community connections across Denmark and beyond.
