Digital Girls project concept is built upon the understanding that changing young women’s attitudes towards digital jobs and learning by showing clear pathways to excellence is vital for making the study and career in the digital sector relevant to young women. The project addresses girls and young women with the aim to contribute to cultivating and enhancing their digital confidence, to support and encourage them in making their first steps in entering the digital world, or to help them recognize that their passive IT-user skills can be transferred into valuable competencies for the labour market. The project applies “confidence-building” measures and effective methodology for youth work in the field, based on combination of role models and digital storytelling.
