This experimental project seeks to highlight the role of youth workers as digital inclusion leaders within non-formal educational spaces. It will document the everyday practices of digital education taking place in youth work through creative, participatory methods.
The project aims to co-create a range of visual and cultural outputs—including zines, audio letters, and visual materials—that engage stakeholders and inform policy. It will provide a participatory platform for reflecting on and disrupting how policy is traditionally developed and shared. In doing so, it will leave behind an open-ended creative toolkit that the DYWR.HUB can continue to use and adapt.
The project treats policymaking not as a top-down process, but as something that can be co-created through relational and creative practices, rooted in the realities of youth work.
