DIG-IT project aims to: Improve digital skills of youth leaders in the field of sustainable urban tourism. Allow experimentation and use youth leaders creativity towards building the community of conscious youth urban tourist. Allow more youth initiatives to share local tourist info in a contemporary way using digital media. Reach a wider audience of youth urban travellers.
Project activities are divided in three groups: Teaching and knowledge sharing about webuilding and embedded map (online seminars, online platform, guidebook). Testing and experimentation (Hackhaton, study cases, brainstorming, lab testing, focus groups). Based on the results of the previous set of activities: Development of a new platform for young travellers and for the community of youth leaders involved in sustainable tourism (design, copywriting, web development beta and alfa, conference).
Thanks to DIG-IT the community of youth leaders who create fresh alternative touristic paper maps will be more skilled in IT so they are able to share their creative content online. Young travellers will have access to a platform where they will find digital maps and content, providing them with honest tourist information from young locals in different European cities.
Young leaders will have a strong innovative tool to convince official funders to support their initiative.
You can explore our catalogue that consists the knowledge about digital mapping tools! 🙂
FUND-IT project wants to improve young people’s entrepreneurial skills, so they start to plan more, pay more and better attention to financial matters and think about their business models. Even in a non-profit area. Sustainability and efficiency is a key to expanding the impact of these youth projects. Different models of funding should be examined and improved. We focus on an international group of young initiatives that sprang up around the USE-IT project. The non-commercial USE-IT map guides created by locals, honest and practical, are showing the real face of cities, breaking a bubble between locals
and travelers. The worthiness of their mission is obvious since it meets European values on many levels. It supports intercultural understanding, fights the social exclusion between locals and tourists and does create European citizens. It is truly bottom-up and the maps show that there is “unity in diversity”.
Explore our beta toolbox and platform! 🙂
USE-IT stands for no-nonsense tourist info for young people. USE-IT maps and websites are made by young locals, are not commercial, free, and up-to-date. Some also have a visitors desk, mostly run by volunteers. Every USE-IT publishes a Map for Young Travellers that will guide you through the city in a no-nonsense way. For more info, please visit USE-IT Europe website.
