Maribor

Representatives of the Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent., will participate in the National Youth Sector Consultation 2017.

The Youth Sector Consultation is an annual event for young people, youth workers and leaders, representatives of youth and youth organisations, and all others who in one way or another co-create and co-shape areas, policies and programmes for young people.

How are we prepared for the new challenges brought by the digitalisation of society? Are we able to take advantage of all the possibilities and opportunities offered by the development of information technologies? What are the good and bad benefits of this process? What are digital competences and why are they important? How can we use these skills to accelerate the development of youth work, youth policies and youth participation at all levels? So we will discuss whether there is such a thing as digital youth work and what the role of new technologies in youth work is. The Minister of Education, Science and Sport, Dr Maja Makovec Brenčič, will also present this year’s national awards in the youth secto
