On October 18, 2024, the Creative Youth Academy (CYA) organized a follow-up workshop in Szeged, Hungary, inspired by the Erasmus+ training course Digital Youth Work for Social Inclusion, held in September in Budapest. The event aimed to bring together young participants, youth workers, and educators to explore how creativity and digital skills can foster inclusion and equal opportunities in modern society.
The workshop opened with an interactive session on the role of digital literacy in promoting active citizenship and social participation. Facilitators shared insights from the Erasmus+ training, discussing how digital tools can be used not only for communication but also for social change and youth empowerment.
Participants engaged in hands-on activities focusing on graphic design, AI-assisted content creation, and digital storytelling, using platforms such as Canva and Trello to design awareness campaigns addressing social inclusion. The workshop emphasized teamwork and innovation, encouraging participants to use digital technology as a creative bridge between communities.
Through group discussions and interactive games, the participants also reflected on challenges such as cyber safety, digital ethics, and critical thinking in today’s online environment. The event concluded with a presentation of group projects — short digital campaigns promoting tolerance, accessibility, and responsible digital citizenship.
The Szeged workshop successfully continued the mission of the Erasmus+ Digital Youth Work for Social Inclusion project — proving that by combining creativity, technology, and collaboration, young people can become catalysts for a more inclusive and digitally aware future.
