2. Second Youth Exchange: Youth and Virtual Communities,
3. Third Youth Exchange: Youth and Digital Citizenship
The 3 Youth Exchanges will give the opportunity to the Youth Workers to become, in quality of Youth Leaders, Cyber-animators and to guide, manage and lead the community of young people. The Youth Exchange will provide brainstorm ideas and the place for the debate and sharing perspectives on the issue of the project.
Socio- Influencer Hubs
“Social-Influencer-Hub” to the development of “social” and “high-value” contents for the social networking. The young people become “ethical influencers” and design the ethical contents of social networks (considering the socio-animation values) and will promote such values in the net which will be oriented to the Youth participation in Democratic Process. The valuable values promoted refer to the European solidarity, the creation of ethical network, the respect of diversity, the development of personality, the fair use of the internet, the fight against cyber-crimes, cyberbullying and racism. Every virtual community has organised at least one online campaign on a social issue that they consider important. The cybercommunities created in each country and the social media campaigns are all available on the EDCyber Platform at:
Local Workshops, from “virtual to “real”
After each Youth Exchange, the young people participating in the Youth Exchange, in collaboration with Youth Workers from the organizations, will organize and manage a 3-days workshop. The local workshops represent the tool for improving the direct contact and debate between young people, the community’s stakeholders and the policy-makers. During the Local Workshops, the young people will develop the proposals designed at “virtual level” and during the Youth Exchanges, bringing them at “real level”. The local workshops will be structured in 3 days and the activities will be focused on:
1. Direct contact of participants with the local context (local authorities, community members, youth, organizations, etc.),
2. Practical application of the Cyberanimation methodology through the EDiCYber,
3. Best practice exchanges,
4. Creation, improvement and enforcing of the dialogue with Local and National Policy-Makers,
5. Exploitation and dissemination of mid-term results of Project’s activities
