MOVE IT - Youth mobility in the digital era (online event)

#MOVEIT2020 #digitalyouthmobility

26. Mai–17. Juni 2020, Online

Digital and smart youth work in general have been widely debated and conceptualised over the last years, long before COVID-19 catapulted the topic into the spotlight. This online event focussed specifically on international youth mobility which had not been at the centre of relevant debates. From keynote speech to Online BarCamp and from Digital Youth Mobility Lab sessions to live Q&A, MOVE IT - Youth mobility in the digital era (online event) was designed to inspire participants, update them on the latest trends and give them a platform for exchange of ideas. It also wanted to shape the future of digital youth mobility! Some of the main questions were: How are digital tools used to support international youth mobility? Do digital and technological solutions hold the potential to further develop youth mobility, inclusion and participation? How do shakers and makers deal with “digital“ and where do they see hindrances and opportunities?
