Natalia Waechter and Hana Machackova presented the ySKILLS research findings and the evolving patterns in adolescents' digital skills spanning a three-year period.

"Digital skills encompass a spectrum of dimensions, each with its unique pattern of growth: From the dynamic advancement of technical expertise, operational proficiency, programming, and digital knowledge, to the subtle shifts in information navigation, communication, and content creation. Understanding these distinct developmental patterns is key to fostering digital literacy."

Giovanna Mascheroni presented a study that explored digital skills in relation to various vulnerabilities within non-formal learning contexts.

“One-size-fits-all solutions and 'open doors' workshops, while well-intentioned, may not automatically foster diversity among participants. It is the shared interests and motivations of parents and children that truly open the doors to inclusive engagement."

Maryia Stoilova delivered a presentation on a study that examined the significance of digital skills concerning young people's online engagement and mental health.

"The possession of advanced digital skills does not always translate to improved mental health and wellbeing outcomes. Proficiency in online navigation can sometimes lead to riskier online behaviours, pushing the boundaries of young people’s coping capabilities and potentially yielding adverse consequences.”

Myria Georgiou presented a study that focused on the digital skills of young refugees and how these skills are experienced in the context of their challenging and uncertain lives.

"Among young refugees, several digital skills emerge in the pursuit of education, language acquisition, and academic support, often complemented by the compensatory role of social media when formal educational structures falter. Equally vital are the identity-related skills cultivated, essential for their socio-emotional and cognitive growth while adeptly navigating the complexities of their transnational existence."
