      • Media LandscapeWith most of the population connected to the internet, young people are amongst those using it the most. For them, the internet is primarily a social space – a place to meet up, communicate and get in touch with likeminded people (Eurostat, 2017). Current research investigating the media use and habits of young people is often handled on a national level, such as the Austrian Youth Internet Monitor (Saferinternet.at, 2019) or the KIM and JIM Studies in Germany (Medienpädagogischer Forschungsverbund Südwest, 2019). There is a noticeable trend towards social messaging apps and content sharing amongst young people. They are not just out there to chat, they create and shape the internet they want to see.   This creates a wildly different reality for today’s youth compared to that of previous generations. Young people are embedded in online communities, which shape their values and beliefs. Popular apps are ever-changing and young people tend to leave platforms once older generations start inhabiting them (Monica Anderson, 2018). The flow of information has changed, with more information accessible than ever before, thus creating uncertainty in the process. This creates new challenges for youth workers: How can we reach the young audience? Where do they…

      • Digital Well-BeingDigital well-being can be defined as the ongoing impact of digital technologies and digital processes on the mental, physical and emotional health of people. Well-being can refer to both positive and negative well-being. Young people are among the first generation raised in the digital age. Most (if not all) aspects of their well-being are affected by digital transformation. So far, it is difficult to predict how digital technologies will impact the well-being of young people in the long term. That is why it is important to continue to analyse and respond to any arising challenges and opportunities related to digital well-being. There are studies examining both positive and negative impacts of digital technologies on the well-being of young people – particularly in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Examples of the positive impact of digital technologies on one’s well-being might be an enhanced sense of interpersonal connection when joining an online community (e.g., social media support groups) or when connecting with friends and family via online video tools. The negative impacts might include an increased sense of anxiety and overwhelmment as a result of excessive use of social media or other online platforms and apps. However, it is important to…
