YSKILLS (Youth Skills) is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme. The aim of the project is to assess how digital skills mitigate the risks and opportunities associated with the use of information and communication technologies in Europe and to identify actors and factors that can jeopardise or promote children’s well-being in the digital age.
This report presents the Youth Digital Skills Indicator (YDSI), a measurement tool containing 31 questions related to digital skills and digital knowledge, and is therefore “the only tool to measure young people’s digital skills, which has been tested using a wide range of validation procedures”.
Extensive exploratory research enabled the project to identify four dimensions that represent digital skills:
- technical and operational skills;
- navigation and information processing skills;
- communication and interaction skills;
- content creation and production skills
