Digital & Social Media Literacy Workshop in Cyprus, 14th of October

The digital revolution is transforming the way young people play, access information, communicate and learn. Youth today have unprecedented learning opportunities. Digital and social media literacy training is now necessary to ensure that young Europeans can harness the potential of online opportunities to build skills, careers and relationships effectively but also safely.

SEAL CYPRUS is organizing a public workshop for youth professionals who work with young people to interact with the new suite of digital and social media literacy resources developed in the context of Project TRACES.

The main objectives of TRACES are:

· to support the continuous professional development of youth professionals;
· to develop key digital and social media literacy training material for youth with fewer opportunities;
· to create a policy paper to advocate for the promotion of responsible digital citizenship of youth with fewer opportunities.

1. Digital and Social Media Literacy Curriculum Resources;
2. In-service Training Programme Handbook;
3. Collaborative online Learning Database;
