ySKILLS conference: Are children skilled enough for the digital world?

As part of the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, the ySKILLS project focused on enhancing and maximising the long-term positive impact of the ICT environment on multiple aspects of well-being for all children by stimulating resilience through the enhancement of digital skills. As the project draws to a close, a final conference will take place at the Irish College in Leuven (Belgium) on Thursday, 30 November 2023.

During the event, the main research findings on the role of digital skills and digital knowledge in relation to individual and social characteristics of children and young people, their digital access and activities, related risks and opportunities, and their well-being will be presented. Recommendations will be shared for policymakers, caregivers, and educators, and a participatory toolkit will also be presented. Particular attention will be paid to the needs of children in vulnerable situations.
