Following the local piloting activities, Youth D.R.A.M.A. partners organised national webinars or in-person dissemination activities to introduce the project and its educational resources to a wider community of youth workers, educators, trainers and youth leaders.
Webinars helped participants discover the project’s resources and approach to digital resilience, media literacy, digital citizenship and theatre-based youth work.
The webinars also created opportunities for questions and discussion. Participants were especially interested in how the materials could be adapted to their organisations, shared with colleagues and used in future activities with young people.
The strong interest and positive feedback show that professionals are looking for practical and creative ways to address digital challenges with young people.
By the end of the project, we aim to reach at least 120 people through our national webinars and in-person events. We are only halfway through the project, but more than 80 people have already taken part, which is almost two-thirds of our final target!
This puts us well ahead of schedule and shows the growing interest in the Youth D.R.A.M.A. resources and their potential use in youth work and education.
