Main Idea of the Project

Description of the Project

Digital Enterprise Through Empathy (DIGETEM)

"Digital Empathy" consists of seminars and workshops designed to teach participants that digital transformation can only be achieved through humanitarian values. Due to digital enterprise being mostly customer centering, youth workers need to cultivate their empathic abilities in order to be able to assess the needs of their potential customers, students, or surroundings. In a sense, empathy might be the groundwork for digital transformation to follow. For this reason, we include the component of empathy in all of our activities, trying to reinforce young adults to be more innovative, empathetic, and critical when working with digital tools. To achieve this, participants will engage in exercises and activities that focus on digital enterprise and empathy, all of which will help them associate how empathy is directly related with their digital development. Additionally, participants will learn through exercises like the empathy map to put their shoes in the position of their potential customers. Digital enterprise and cultivated digital competences are skills. However, the way you teach young people how to develop and implement those skills should be entangled with humanitarian values. This is our goal. To give participants ideas, digital tools, through a humanitarian implementation. Participants will gain an understanding of the importance of digital enterprise, activating at the same time their humanitarian values. Empathy, curiosity, innovation, non-formal education. During this training, participants will discover through innovative ideas, competitions, exhibitions, and fun-based activities that digital transformation starts with digital enterprise. Such digital enterprise can only get you forward through empathetic abilities which abilities are developed through real-time experiences. We provide these experiences!!


TEAM: The team involved in this training course consists of people with extensive experience who have been involved in youth programmes for many years. They are all very experienced and can't wait to meet you and work with you to unlock your potential and become a better version of yourself as a youth worker and as a person


THE NATIONAL TEAMS WILL PRESENT THEIR SENDING ORGANISATIONS AND THEIR COUNTRIES DURING THE INTERCULTURAL EVENINGS.
