Developing digital youth work requires an agile mindset. We should be willing to try new things, ready to creatively respond and learn from both success and failure. Our organisations should develop a digitally agile culture that supports experimentation and learning. 

Agile is a way of thinking, acting and being in the world that is constantly changing. Agile is often referred to as software development and we can borrow the best of it when aiming to develop digital youth work.
