Enabling Education and Employability: IT and Digital Media within a substance use service for youths

This project will expand the educational support offered at Caritas Tal-Ibwar Adolescents Therapeutic Services (CIATS) to include digital media and ICT. As a result adolescents with problematic substance use will get a more holistic modern education, thus combatting poverty and social exclusion. The project is needed because there is no targeted support for adolescents with such issues. CIATS will start delivering such support in Q1 2021 but it does not include education on digital/ICT. This gap would be a major stumbling block for their reintegration into society. The key activities include the development of a new educational programme for ICT Literacy and Digital Media Production, and delivering the programme to around 15 adolescents. The new educational programme will continue to be provided, ensuring a long-term impact.
