“Digization” / Info workshop

September 15, 2019

On the 12-13th of September, 2019, Out of the Box has implemented an info workshop for Digization project in Brussels, Belgium.

During the session, the participants, coming from entrepreneurial and trainer background were introduced to the outcomes of the project: the toolkit, the intellectual outputs and further mobility opportunities.

The aim of this session was to explore the specifics related to digital youth participation; to examine the needs and challenges of digital youth participation in different countries; to discuss the importance of digital participation in mass productions such as the Youth Capital of Europe; to share good practices; to debate innovative ways of youth participation (new technologies, long-distance tools, etc.); to offer space for long-term partnership building among organizations active in the field of youth participation, for future projects.

DigiZation is a KA2- project funded by the Eramus+ programme to address the development of high-quality skills for youth workers and organisational staff , working to raise the level of participation of young people and to ensure more inclusion in participatory processes of youth from diverse backgrounds.

Why Out of the Box International

The seemingly ever-lasting depression of European economies has shaken the very foundations of many European societies. The shear rate of unemployment in Europe and the omnipresent environmental crisis coupled with the often frustratingly slow process of decision making in the EU, are calling for civil society actors to step in and fill the void.

In the aftermath of the 2008. economic crisis, the apprehension of falling under the spell of apathy of economic depression across the continent has not been easy to shake off. However, pinpointing the culprits for the current state of affairs on any particular EU decision maker is not the answer. Nonetheless, the fact remains that the current approach to the economic and environmental crisis hasn’t yet shown the affected citizens the light at the end of the tunnel.

As representatives of the civil society we feel the need to make our voice heard in the midst of the current debate on economic crisis. Being a social enterprise we offer new and feasible ideas in education and community work, creative cross-sectorial cooperation among different actors and strong networking coalitions to turn these dire economic challenges into possibilities through social entrepreneurship initiatives which aim at benefiting wide range of citizens, particularly vulnerable groups and those affected by the economic crisis.

Social entrepreneurship is a simple concept that has been put into practice by civil society actors for the benefit of a specific social group or people, and this is precisely what we want: to create projects and initiatives with fresh ideas in different policies, educational programs or tools, support businesses, empower cultural initiatives and offer different solutions to individuals, corporate bodies, everybody who believe that we can have more Creative, Innovative and Cohesive Europe.
