CO-MIX: stripi kot orodje inkluzivnega mladinskega dela

The project implementation was based on need of the youth workers round all EU, especially from partner organizations to search of innovative approach, that is encouraging creativity of the young ...

With the project, we achieved and established a new digital tool for young people and youth workers, enabling them to express themselves safely and freely. In addition to the tool for creating comics, we also created comics on sensitive topics so that youth workers from other EU countries and beyond can use them in their daily work, as well as successfully carried out multiplication events. These were aimed at quality and, above all, experiential participation of guests and participants at the events, as it was important to us that the participants learn how to handle the tool and evaluate it positively and thus internalize it, because only then will they use it in the future. With the project, we wanted to reduce the gap between the needs of young people in the field of digital competences and the skills of youth workers, to contribute to the improvement of quality youth work and to permanently design and offer a tool for free use to everyone who wants to use it in their work .
