Do it Yourself in Digital International Youthwork

DIY² stands for Do-It-Yourself in Digital International Youth Work. In March 2021, IJAB launched DIY² Lab, an online format for youth work professionals who are interested in experimenting with digital international youth work methods. DIY² Lab offers practitioners a low-threshold, online and participatory opportunity to test digital tools and methods, to experiment collaboratively and to discuss both practical and fundamental issues relating to digital international youth work. At each DIY² Lab session, an expert is invited to deliver a keynote speech and introduce practical experimentation methods, in this way stimulating dialogue.
