IO2 - In-service Training Programme Handbook

Digital and Social Media in-service Training Programme Handbook

The capacity of youth professionals to embed the new digital and social media literacy resources into their daily routines is critical to realising the aims of the TRACES project. To support their continuous professional development an appropriate in-service training resource will be provided.

The in-service training curriculum for the continuous professional development of youth professionals will be developed in the form of an in-service Training Programme Handbook.

The in-service training will introduce the 16 new digital and social media literacy resources that will be made available and the 8 thematic areas they address. The new resources will be media-rich and interactive and the in-service training will familiarise the youth workers with the new approaches required to effectively use and integrate the new resources into everyday activities.

Working with the local youth workers, partners will present in-service training materials for sampling and validation before including them in the final training programme.

The in-service training programme will be just as relevant to any person involved in youth development or working to support the digital and social media literacy of any young person in any youth development setting.
