In June 2023, the founder of the DYWR.HUB (Dr Alicja Pawluczuk) was invited to write an article on digital citizenship and youth work to inform the Consultative Meeting on Education about Digital Citizenship in Budapest. The analyis will be published as a report later this summer. In the meantime, you can see some of the early insights in the slides from my presentation from the event.
The event brought together 20 experts and practitioners in digital citizenship matters, including youth work and human rights education practitioners, the ongoing consultative meeting aims to achieve several objectives. The participants worked towards establishing a common understanding of key concepts and definitions underpinning digital citizenship and digital citizenship education.
The meeting aimed to establish a shared understanding of key concepts and definitions underpinning digital citizenship and digital citizenship education. Through discussions and collaborative exercises, participants explored how to integrate these principles more effectively within youth work and educational settings.
As part of the Youth for Democracy programme (2024-2027), the meeting resulted in key proposals on how digital citizenship can be consistently embedded within future initiatives. The Digital Youth Work Research Hub contributed insights from its ongoing research, ensuring that youth perspectives and digital equity remain central to these discussions. We look forward to continuing our work with our European partners.
