Digital youth work needs to be beneficial to young people and their communities. Therefore we should reflect and evaluate the impact and effectiveness of digital tools, content and activities.

In the constantly changing and evolving digital world, youth work methods are often created through open-minded experimentation. At the beginning, it can be important to simply focus on the youth engagement and experiment with a wide variety of new digital tools and activities before concentrating on the quality aspects. We can keep our expectations for impact moderate until we get familiar with new online environments and possibilities.
