The event is dedicated to the Digital Youth Work and its current position and future possibilities for development. In the event will take part experts from the national and local authorities, business, educators and teachers, active youth leaders from non-governmental organisations, youth workers and young people. They have a common mission and it is to create services and activities for young people, for their personal and professional development, with an emphasis on the use of digital technologies for education and media literacy, in social inclusion, digital safety, as well as the many technological challenges facing young people.

The event will take place at the end of the international training course on Digital Youth Work which is implemented under the strategic project #AlwaysON for Youth under the Erasmus+ program. The project aims to increase the capacity of youth and non-governmental organizations from all over Europe, actively working with them through the means of digital youth work and digital inclusion and safety. Lastly, we have carried out a large-scale research "Shaping digital inclusion, safety and well-being in a post-pandemic world", available in English at: http://www.youthwork.digital/. Another products, which will be developed in the project are a MOOC course on digital inclusion and safety, as well as a Gamification pack with 5 games.
