EDUCATION TOOLKIT

ySKILLS

This is the ySKILLS EDUCATION TOOLKIT!

The toolkit is divided into two modules: EVALUATE and EXECUTE digital skills. The modules comprise activities that are independent of each other and can be carried out in a time-spaced manner.

The activities are targeted at 12 to 17-year-olds, allowing them to learn digital skills, and promoting their use. 

The toolkit may be used in a school context (e.g. Citizenship or ICT classes) or in informal settings (e.g., clubs, youth associations).


To explore the modules and their activities, please use the navigation bar at the top right, or select from the choices below.

The European ySKILLS project (2020-2023) studied how digital skills develop and evolve in adolescence, both through a longitudinal survey to the same adolescents (in 2021, 2022 and 2023) and by looking at contexts where the adolescents are disadvantaged  (young refugees, young people with mental health problems, and those who are socially vulnerable).
