The DIGI-HYVE project is a joint educational project of the University of Oulu and Oulu University of Applied Sciences. The aim is to
- develop, pilot and implement multidisciplinary and working life-based online education for professionals working among young people as well as students in the field.
- create a network for professionals and students educated in promoting digital well-being of young people to increase multi-professional cooperation.
- provide for professionals and students concrete solutions (eg. education, digital network, service map) to tackle the new competence requirements caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, digitalization and continuing learning needed in working life.
- indirectly increase the well-being of young people, their participation in society and the improvement of their position in the labor market.
