E-Juniors
E-Juniors - Non-governmental organisation/association in France. The objective of E-Juniors is to offer younger citizens - particularly those who are e-excluded - opportunities to improve their digital skills, by proposing activities in addition to formal academic studies.
E-Juniors proposes activities aiming to encourage younger people to:
- Spend free time in a productive and useful way,
- Explore new applicable areas of interest,
- Inspire creativity and enhance vocational skills,
- Acquire hard and soft skills facilitating the inclusion in the labour world.
E-Juniors is involved in several European actions proposing new training curriculum for the youth based on the use of innovative ICT tools. In particular, the association organized training for younger people to become youth educators by proposing digital tools and innovative methods, such as online learning and blended learning.
Moreover, E-Juniors has been involved in Erasmus+ and Europe for citizens projects, promoting the active citizenships in Europe and raising awareness about democratic processes among younger people to avoid radicalization and to boost active participation in the European civic life.
The association works in tandem and in a complementary manner with E-Seniors, whose objectives are to initiate seniors and people with disabilities into the world of new communication technologies. Together, the two associations use digital technologies to foster intergenerational communication and to bridge the digital gap. The association regularly undertake actions to fight prejudices, to promote intergenerational dynamics and boost social cohesion.
