Following the local piloting activities, Youth D.R.A.M.A. partners organised specific dissemination activities to introduce the project and its educational resources to a wider community of youth workers, educators, trainers and youth leaders. Some partners organised webinars online, while others preferred to turn the webinars into in-person events to suit the target group best and maximise impact for their specific reality.
These dissemination activities helped participants discover the project’s resources and approach to digital resilience, media literacy, digital citizenship and theatre-based youth work.
They also created opportunities for questions, discussion and showcase of activities. 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 87 people (including staff facilitating the events) 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.
