Digitalisation and international youth work

On 17 and 18 May 2022, the specialist and funding agencies for international youth work held their second international BarCamp. Their common objective: to discuss and explore the digital tools and methods, hybrid settings, good practices, innovative ideas and challenges associated with digital international youth work.

53 participants from Germany, France, the Czech Republic, Poland, Greece and Ghana, three speakers from the US, Argentina and the Czech Republic and ten interpreters plus one host spent two days on the DINA.international platform where they enjoyed the participatory programme of Digital Transformer Days 2022.

The host of Digital Transformer Days 2022 was Sabrina Apitz, a multi-talented digital youth work specialist who is fully at home in the digital space and was hence ideally placed to promote a positive mindset when it comes to digital transformation in international youth work. A colourful, diverse and attractive addition to the event were the graphic recordings created by Coline Robin (France) over the course of the two days. She condensed and visualised the key outcomes of the discussions and activities of DTD22 on behalf of the participants. So what happened at Digital Transformer Days 2022? Let’s take a look!
