Hello Wwworld!

Hello Wwworld!

Hi you! Join us on our DIG-ITal journey! A year ago, we embarked on our DIG-IT project, diving into the exciting world of web and geospatial development to bring the fun and charm of our paper maps to life online.

We believe that sharing is caring, so we’re eager to share the knowledge and experience we’ve gained (and continue to gain) with our community and the wider world, in order to enhance the digital skills of youth leaders in the field of sustainable urban tourism.

Co-funded by the European Union, we launched the DIG-IT project in 2023 to enhance the digital skills of youth leaders in the field of sustainable urban tourism. It aims to foster experimentation and harness the creativity of youth leaders to build a community of conscientious urban tourists. This will enable more youth initiatives to share local tourist information in a contemporary way using digital media, thereby reaching a wider audience of young urban travellers (you :)).

The project activities are divided into three groups:

  1. Teaching and Knowledge Sharing: This involves web development and digital maps, delivered through online seminars, an online platform, and a guidebook.
  2. Testing and Experimentation: Activities include hackathons, case studies, brainstorming sessions, lab testing, and focus groups.
  3. Development: Based on the results of the previous activities, this phase involves creating a new platform for young travellers and the community of youth leaders engaged in sustainable tourism. It includes design, copywriting, beta and alpha web development, and a conference.

Thanks to DIG-IT, the community of youth leaders who create innovative alternative tourist paper maps will become more proficient in IT, enabling them to share their creative content online. Young travellers will have access to a platform where they can find digital maps and content, providing them with authentic tourist information from young locals in various European cities.

Youth leaders will also have a powerful tool to persuade official funders to support their initiatives. You can explore our catalogue, which includes comprehensive knowledge about digital mapping tools!
