PROJECT SUMMARY
This project is about new dimension of active citizenship – online citizenship. It will highlight concept of digital citizenship, which helps young people, youth workers and multiplayers to understand what young people should know for using technology appropriately. Digital citizenship in this case is the norms of appropriate and responsible using of technology. Also, this project should highlight freedom of expression and human rights on internet. In fact, freedom of expression covers all forms of human expression, including the written word, visual images, video, music and etc. It is therefore particularly relevant to online activity: 
everything online is an “expression” and it is potentially covered by this right. Freedom of expression is essential to human dignity, and it also plays a key role in democratic society. Without freedom of expression, democracy cannot function and without democracy – human rights are almost unprotected. This project is organized to improve the level of key competence and skills of youth workers and also young people, including those with fewer opportunities, as well as to promote participation in democratic life and the labor market, active citizenship, intercultural dialogue, antidiscrimination, social inclusion and solidarity, through increased learning mobility opportunities for people, who are active in youth work or youth organizations from Programme and Partner countries.
