Project “Youth-Centered Digital Society”
In today’s fast-evolving digital world, young people are more connected than ever before. However, with new opportunities come new challenges — among them, digital anxiety is becoming an increasingly urgent issue. Recognizing this need, the “Youth-Centered Digital Society” project has been launched on 06.04.2025. under the Erasmus+ KA2 program to equip young people and youth workers with the skills necessary to thrive in the digital age. Project will last 19 months till 05.11.2026. Project partners are non-governmental organization from Italy – YOUNET APS (Italy) and non-governmental organization from Turkey – Openact Association. Project is funded by Erasmus + programme, thanks to Agency for International Programs for Youth in Latvia.
The project aims to develop the skills to recognize and cope with digital anxiety, ensuring the well-being of young people online and offline. It also seeks to build the capacity of youth organizations across Europe and contribute meaningfully to the EU’s Digital Goals for 2030 and the European Year of Digital Citizenship.
Through a comprehensive set of activities, the project will produce valuable resources including field research, a training curriculum, a digital toolkit and awareness workshops, filling a significant gap in youth work practices.

At its heart, “Youth-Centered Digital Society” is about empowering young people to navigate the digital world confidently and safely. It is about strengthening the youth work sector, giving youth workers the tools they need to support young people in a complex, fast-paced online environment. Together, we are building a future where young people are not just users of technology, but informed, resilient digital citizens.
