HANDBOOK: “Online youth work for inclusion of immigrants”
Description
The publication brings all the up-to-date issues and topics needed for youth workers read/get to know when starting online youth work with their beneficiaries.
The publication will also serve as theoretical and conceptual resource for youth workers and other educators when organising further education, training and mentoring of youth workers in changing their mind-sets (blockages towards online youth work) and inspiring them for reaching youngsters online when working on inclusion of immigrants.
Youth work incorporates both informal and non-formal learning, but today, we have to move those two types of learning in an online environment to reach youth who are rather spending their free time online, than in our youth clubs.
Our Handbook explores the benefits of social media (form of informal online learning) in youth work, as well as the methods and activities youth workers can use to engage youth, both in informal learning, as well as in non-formal online learning setting. Social media is a very powerful tool for connection and communication, but it is also a form of informal online learning.

This project was response to the needs of our youngsters (mainstream and marginalised) and youth workers. We notice that there was need for innovative youth work approach towards youngsters that spend a lot of their time online and do not visit (local) youth centres/clubs so much, any more. As well, on the other hand youth workers needed upgrade in their daily life work.
Thus, we believe that the youth work approach towards the inclusion and active citizenship should also be thought again and adapted with digitalisation and other innovative aspects that are standard in everyday life of youngsters (mainstream and marginalised) nowadays.
