DIGITAL CULTUREIn order to recognise, acknowledge and support the individuality, uniqueness and genuity of a young person, youth work has to recognise digital culture as one of the central sources of cultural and social capital of a growing young person.
At the same time, youth work professionals must adopt and learn the information and skills required to encounter the youth through digital media.
