The trianing course ""INTO THE NET - Information and Communications Technology in European Youth Work"" is developed for and from professionals who work in the field of social pedagogy with young people of different associations and institutions. During one week we will stimulate and widen the participants competences in the use of ICT to improve their daily work in the sector of youth work. The development of ICT skills (creacion of blogs, web-sites, viral videos, etc.) establish the youth workers possiblity to stimulate a wide range of personal, social and intercultural competences among the youngsters which can be a essential factor in their professional potential and life. It also gives the chance to work about participation in democratic processes and the empowerment of young people in risk of social exclusion. The use of ICT provide possibilities to express, learn, share, exchange and discuss opinions about social, ecological, cultural or political topics concerning the European Union and all European society. During the eight days of the training course we will realize activities, exercises, experiments and group-works, whose aim is to promote and create abilities and competences in the field of Information and Communications Technologies amoung the participating youth workers: tecnical skills, mass media as an instrument of pedagogical work with children and adolescents, communication technology like smartphones and social networks, organization, planification and financing of educational and pedagocical projects focused on the use of ICT or in which the application of ICT as a tool of work is implied. In this week we will create a platform of youth workers from different countries to learn, explore and exchange about the use of ICT in our organisations, which will be the workplaces where we exercise all skills and new methods learnd durnig the training. This platform will convert in a really usefull tool, not only to exchange experiences and learn together, but also to build a european network of youth wokers who will keep contact after this project to assure the diffusion of its results and the possibility to plan and execute future cooperation-projects. In a world where youngsters often are more skilled in the use of ICT than persons of other generations, the study of competences refering information and communication technologies have to be an important part of youth-workers formation. This course teaches pedagogical abilities to execute projects with young people using the skills and competences they possess as a tool of empowerment. Furthermore we will use the ICT to promote the establishment of relations between different european youth groups rising in this manner the awareness of their european citizenship. One important focus of the training week is the development of competences and skills in the application of new information technologies. So the participating professionals can convey this ICT-knowledge to the youngsters to improve their professional possibilities and that they have the chance to create own projects and acquire important competences for the working world. The knowledge about ICT not just stimulate personal and participating competences, it is also an essential medium for an efficient search for employment in the european job market using digital platforms and tools in the internet. The training will contribute to the personal development of the participants, the exchange of good practice and the establishment of new connections throughout europe.
