The Pilgrimage for Youth project focuses on the growing worldwide phenomenon of people rediscovering, especially in Europe, medieval Pilgrims paths, trails, and places of worship. Pilgrimages are found in several cultures and religions, representing a journey of transformation, breaking up from everyday patterns, habits, and security. Through walking and reflection, the soul, mind and the body are activated, boosting our wellbeing and balance.
P4Y reimagines these traditional routes as powerful educational and digital learning resources for young people. The aim of P4Y is to empower young people and youth workers by integrating traditional cultural heritage with innovative AI-supported digital technologies, promoting digital literacy, intercultural dialogue, and social inclusion. Specifically, it seeks to enhance digital competence by developing and implementing AI-driven digital tools, interactive training modules, and online platforms that enable youth workers and young people to acquire and refine digital skills.
