Digital tools, are only one of the layers that digital youthwork offers and is dealing with. Internet security, gamification, FOMO, social media, merger of digital and real world, AI and others are just some aspect of vast digital world that we are visiting on daily basis (with increased frequency). Young people are exposed to this world even more, as they are „digital natives“.
