Study Visit - Grenoble, France
About the project
About the project
The study visit "Go Green, Go Digital" brought together 4 youth workers from Romania and France. This activity provided a great opportunity for youth workers to explore the green practices implemented in various institutions and youth NGOs in Grenoble, France.
During the study visit, the youth workers focused on the positive impact of digital tools. By visiting institutions and other youth NGOs, they had the opportunity to meet stakeholders and exchange knowledge, views, and attitudes about efficient green and digital methods to work with young people.
In addition to exploring common green practices, the visit emphasized the role of digital tools in youth work. Participants learned how digital collaboration tools were integrated into the daily workflows of Association ASCU. The program included several sessions on digital tools such as Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft PowerApps, enabling youth workers to draw inspiration from them and integrate them into their home organisations. Incorporating digital solutions into daily operations helped lower energy consumption and contributed to the creation of more eco-friendly work environments (by reducing paper usage and other consumables).
