Project Description
In a century when the digital realm has overwhelmingly taken over our daily lives and has shaped our learning and working habits, it is of crucial importance to employ the benefits of the digital empire to our work as youth organisations that aim to increase the level of participation of young people in social and political processes. Acknowledging that using digital tools provides young people with easier access to services that cover a wide range of their needs related to entertainment, education, communication, networking, activism, mobility, working and the like creates a space for identifying solutions to challenges such as exclusion, segregation, alienation, unemployment, etc. DigiZation - Digital Participation in Youth Organisations is a Key Action 2 Strategic Partnership for Youth for Exchange of Good Practices project funded by Erasmus+ programme of the European Commission. The project addresses the development of high-quality skills for youth workers and organizational staff who is working to raise the level of participation of young people and to ensure more inclusion in participatory processes of youth from diverse backgrounds. In line with this rationale, the project‘s main aim is to strengthen the capacity and sustainability of youth organizations by developing modules that address digital participation and use digital tools to reach a wider target group.
PAGE 4
The main objectives of the project are clearly stated as follows: 1. To develop a common understanding of the concepts related to digital participation of young people and its connection and impact on citizenship, leadership and social activism. 2. To identify and critically review the current digital solutions in practice in the partner organizations and to assess their multiplication capacity; To create a virtual community for sharing experiences and good practices using digital tools. To provide capacity building to staff members of the partner organizations. 3. To support participants in analyzing and further developing their organization‘s internal processes and mechanisms in order to encompass digital participation solutions. 2018 is believed to be the year in which more attention will be given to developing proper internet policies and to capitalize on using the complementarity between stakeholders for more efficient use of digital tools. This strategic partnership will pave the way to a fruitful collaboration between representatives of youth organisations working on a local, national and international level, with an additional contribution from representatives of municipalities, universities, businesses and other youth organisations.
Activites
Consultative Meeting Portimao. January 2019 The consultative meeting gathered 12 representatives of youth organisations, municipalities and other stakeholders who mapped and shared good practices from their work. The meeting facilitated the process of assessment of the extent to which each partner is successfully using digital tools that encourage participation and will lead to the production of a document with recommendations that can be shared with other organisations and stakeholders in the community. The main aim of this meeting has been to equip the partner organisations with a general overview of the digitization of their activity and to support them in improving the use of the already practiced tools.
Training for Multiplies Skopje. May 2019 The training for multipliers gather 16 participants among representatives of youth organisations, municipalities, and other relevant stakeholders who were willing to improve their capacity to use digital tools and to enrich their organisation‘s experience; they will receive input based on the findings of the previous meetings and support to understand how they can put into practice the diverse tools that have been presented as good practices, as well as they will be trained on how to use and how to implement good practices in their local realities. Be trained on how to use and how to implement those good practices in their local realities.

Practical Implementation Phase Local Communities. MaySeptember 2019 In this phase, the participants from the training were supported to pilot several of the identified good practices, with an added value for the practices implemented in partnership with municipalities or educational institutions or enterprises. This could include a local training, a meeting with stakeholders, a public event with youth, etc.
Evaluation Seminar & International Conference Vienna. September 2019 The evaluation seminar gave space 20 out of the participants involved in the whole process of the project to come together and evaluate its implementation, its impact, and its potential benefits on individuals and on the organisations involved.

TOOL
Canva, Nr. 11 CHALLENGE / TASK
We needed a key visual design for our flyers and social media postings for our TEDx event. TRADITIONAL SOLUTION
We would work with a graphic designer and work with tools like InDesign and Photoshop. NEW DIGITAL SOLUTION
Our team used Canva to create all visuals from scratch. TEXT, EXPERIENCE, CONTEXT, IMPACT
We planned a TEDx conference around the topic of digiZation in the end of our KA2 project and meeting in Vienna. Our goal was to invite relevant stakeholders to the event to introduce them to our booklet with many new digital tools for youth organisations. The task was to create a powerful key visual to attract people to the event and to introduce our speakers. The visuals were planned to be used on Flyers, Facebook Event, as a cover on Facebook Page, on Instagram and Facebook Posts and on a website. The team experimented with new tool Canva. We used and customised templates for an own digiZation design. The tool was really intuitive and easy to use. All team members were able to quickly create professional designs for the event in the right size and format. A highlight was the new feature of using animated elements on the postings to attract more attention.

Franz, Nr. 27 CHALLENGE / TASK
We needed to receive, read and send messages from and to different apps. TRADITIONAL SOLUTION
We would need to check every single app separately, one by one, to get all the messages. NEW DIGITAL SOLUTION
Our team used Franz, to coordinate the Gmail account, Google Calendar and Whatsapp. TEXT, EXPERIENCE, CONTEXT, IMPACT
Using Franz, we saved a lot of time because all the mailboxes were synchronized and as soon as a new message arrived we knew it and check it. For sure, this app will improve our job, because we work with and for the youth, and they use different channels to communicate - using this app, we immediately know when they want to „talk“.

Bitly, Nr. 7 CHALLENGE / TASK
To have a clear conversation stream in emails and social media. TRADITIONAL SOLUTION
The traditional solution would be to copy the entire hyperlink or to hyperlink the word in emails. NEW DIGITAL SOLUTION
Our team used Bitly to shorten long website link into a shorter and user friendly clickable link. TEXT, EXPERIENCE, CONTEXT, IMPACT
Our team used Bitly to shorten links from the website of our organizations which we send by email and WhatsApp to other participants at the seminar. It is useful since it also shortens space in the written conversation, making the conversation more readable. It took us less than five minutes to perform the needed tasks.

How to engage audiences during presentations. TRADITIONAL SOLUTION
We would use PowerPoint presentation and participants would need to use microphone to answer questions.+ NEW DIGITAL SOLUTION
Our team used Kahoot to make presentations more engaging by offering fun and educational content that allowed participants to interact. TEXT, EXPERIENCE, CONTEXT, IMPACT
We used this application to check the knowledge of the participants about the DigiZation project and about Vienna. We made 5 simple slides with questions and true or false questions. Our presentation was for the group of 12 people and it worked well. We found out that the application is simple to use and it took us approximately 30 minutes to register and make the presentation. We noticed that, by using Kahoot application, our participants got really involved, stayed focused on questions and had fun. Kahoot made participants curious and the learning process effective.

TRADITIONAL SOLUTION
a) Have multiple meetings led by the coordinator (top down approach) with every decision going through them. b) We spent up to 30 minutes, each member sharing their schedules. c) Spend time to find a skilled designer willing to help us or spend money to hire one. NEW DIGITAL SOLUTION
a) We used Trello to put all of the management burden online, to be accessed by all members to contribute directly, however they can (bottom up). b) We used Doodle to save time and allow members to state their availability whenever they want. c) We used Canva so that any member of our NGO could design a kick-ass certificate. TEXT, EXPERIENCE, CONTEXT, IMPACT
We are sharing our positive experiences organizing the camp this year using the digital tools we learned in DigiZa-
PAGE 39
tion. We had 70 kids participating and 10 staff members looking after them. It was a huge improvement compared to the usual way we have managed camps in the past. A lot of valuable time was saved using these tools while planning and when implementing. The preparation meetings lasted over 3 months last year but this year using Trello we were able to cut that time down to about a week. Scheduling meetings took us up to 30 minutes, with Doodle there is no need to hold everyone in a room until a time is set, everyone can state their free time on their own. By using Canva, we created great looking certificates in 20 minutes instead of the 2 hours it would take using Photoshop. Saving 2 hours may not seem a lot, but remember to multiply that by the number of people involved, say 10, 10 x 2 hours is 20 hours. All that time, multiplied by each tool is a considerable amount that makes a visible difference to the organization. Something else that was quite different was the openness and participation some of these tools provided. Using Trello for managing the project provided more transparence to the member and increase the barrier to entry, especially for members that are shy or new to the team. Having all the tasks on the screen immediately give you an overview of all the task members are working on. Tasks can also be assigned so members know who is doing what, or jump on tasks that nobody is working on. Canva also enables more people to participate since it lowers the barrier to entry for many people by having a simple to use interface and ready made templates allowing even beginners to make professional looking designs. TOOL TIP(S)
Save Canva designs as PDFs to use/import them as vector graphics. A separate Trello board can be used as an announcement board by making the board public. Trello can be used as a central location for all the files, links, comments, deadlines - this is particularly useful for organizations sharing a lot of Google Drive links or Google documents.

big plus and it keeps, mostly, a cross platform integration as the other applications also have to be installed and added to Slack Ecosystem. Also in our case, as the free version of Slack, does not directly allow video conference with more than two participants, the use of a third party integrated app „Zoom“, circumvented this restriction and proved to be compatible on computer, tablet and smartphone. The impact was a centralisation of capabilities and features in the same website/tool, replacing others and making it overall easier to access, edit, and share information throughout the organisation and its members.
Slack, Nr. 63 CHALLENGE / TASK
Searching for a single tool to fulfil multiple communication needs. TRADITIONAL SOLUTION
In the old times with less technology, one would send letters, SMS, actual calling and fax which is not so popular anymore. NEW DIGITAL SOLUTION
Our team used Slack to facilitate all the communication within the organization. Keep track and share all the work and progress being made in all the projects and in this way lessening the amount of time one would spend slacking off. TEXT, EXPERIENCE, CONTEXT, IMPACT
Our experience with Slack was very pleasant as normally we do not use office communication tools. For a free version tool, it provides almost all the features that the paid plans do, just with less capacity, but more than necessary for most small organisations and projects. The channels are very useful in the division of tasks, departments and topics, there is also the possibility of 1 on 1 messaging in the same tool. The channels also allow you to quickly add members and see who is on the channel and their name and title. Adding and retracting access to members, channels and tools when necessary. The integration with different third party applications is a

+ Getting updates/feedback from all the projects at once; + Easy access to all the members of the organization + Integration of other digital tools inside Slack, such as Google Drive, Google Calendar, Zoom, Trello, etc. + Commands for setting status, calls, postings, reminders, topics, mentions, etc. + Sharing documents in various formats + Thread view + Create external link for other people outside the organization for specific files + Access management + Different channels for different topics;
- Initial setup best done in the desktop version - The free version is limited: limited message and content search in free version (limit: 10k searchable messages); Limited storage per member (5Gb); and you can only integrate 10 apps; IDEA(S) FOR FUTURE USAGE
Alternative channels can extend the use of the tool outside the workspace purpose.

Out Of The Box International Belgium www.outofthebox-international.org Out of the Box International is a Network which brings together different actors working on social innovation and advocating for a more creative Europe with a main mission to provide fresh ideas and solutions acting as a catalyst for positive changes across Europe and worldwide. Their main goal is to design innovative social projects to respond to the persistent social and economic challenges in order to empower people’s potential and facilitate their active engagement in society.

In the policy areas, Out of the Box aims at creating tools and policies in formal education & non-formal learning for a knowledge-based society. They also believe that introduction of an Internet technologies in learning processes is an important aspect in the 21st century. Out of the Box activities in the youth sector are related to following topics: Advocacy initiatives and Non-formal education courses on Cross-sector youth policies at the national and European level; Building expertise of the youth sector to advocate for the recognition of youth work and youth workers as a profession; Building curricula for the studies of youth work and NGO studies by building connections and collaboration amongst youth NGOs,
PAGE 46
Universities, Authorities and Business; Implementation of the training programmes to empower youth workers for quality community work; Creating a bridges between youth sector and EU policy makers by providing space and opportunities for Study Visits at EU institutions; Out of the Box has learned there is no single or simple answer. Social innovation is the result of tremendously complex social processes, sometimes also environmental conditions, and finally individual contributions. There is no proven road to a quality in innovations, especially in the sport where the policies need cross –sector approach and innovative collaboration with outside actors, especially business sector. Their projects all have a few things in common: they are emerging; involve diverse social actors, and aim at making a real difference in the communities that they target. Out of the Box doesn’t create change by doing the same things they has always done. By introducing diversity they provoke discovery.
