Digicreate Empower

Digicreate Empower The DigiCreate project is a 36-month Erasmus+ initiative focused on empowering young people (18-30 years) in the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) sector.

The DigiCreate project consists of online virtual exchanges that will help at least 2,500 youngsters (18-30 years of age) to acquire significant digital competencies for the CCI sector and promote intercultural dialogue in 4 Programme Countries and 2 countries of the Western Balkan region (Montenegro & Bosnia and Herzegovina). The DigiCreate virtual exchanges will run for 36 months and enable every young person in the target group to access high-quality international and cross-cultural non-formal education based on the DigiCreate Methodological Framework developed during the project, without physical mobility. The activities are organized into 6 work packages and incorporate relevant virtual exchanges from the very start. Within these WPs, the consortium will conduct project coordination & management (WP1), develop and pilot test a new training and methodological framework (DigiCreate Methodological Framework), mentoring program and gamification strategy (WP2), develop and pilot digital tools, as well as the DigiCreate Digital Hive Toolbox (WP3), develop virtual exchange tech and materials to promote virtual exchange (WP4), enhance cooperation between the EU and Western Balkan countries in the fields of youth and creative industries via 3 Virtual Exchange Conferences (WP5), engage youngsters from participating countries, and conduct dissemination activities, as well as a community-building impact assessment (WP6).

The community votes are in, and simplicity takes the crown!

Two weeks ago, we polled creators across our channels to see which video tool keeps their projects moving. Here is what the total scores revealed:
• Canva (70.7%): Wins hands down. Free, cloud-based, and loaded with ready assets, perfect for educators and youth leaders needing quick social assets.
• CapCut (16.7%): The smartphone editing powerhouse for dynamic reels, auto-subtitles, and quick mobile adjustments.
• Adobe Premiere Pro (12.3%): The gold standard for filmmakers and creative pros handling deep colour grading and advanced audio.
• Clipchamp (0%): Fast for simple desktop trims, but absent from routine community workflows.

What does this tell us?
You do not need to be a certified video editor to produce engaging visual stories. Choosing a tool that removes technical barriers lets you focus entirely on your message.

What Makes a Digital Creative Space Feel Safe?

A digital creative space is shaped by more than the platform or technology it uses. It depends on how people are welcomed, how conversations are moderated, whether privacy and creative ownership are respected, and whether young people feel confident sharing ideas that are still developing.

At Digicreate Empower, we recognise four core pillars of safe and inclusive online creative spaces:
1️⃣ Mutual Respect - Welcoming diverse perspectives and unfinished ideas.
2️⃣ Active Listening - Constructive feedback without judgment.
3️⃣ Privacy & Trust - Protecting personal data and creative ownership.
4️⃣ Supportive Moderation - Clear guidelines and open communication.

As Digicreate Empower continues building opportunities for online creative participation, this question matters:
What helps young creatives feel respected, included, and ready to contribute?

A digital space becomes meaningful when young people feel respected enough to participate.

Digital skills do not always grow through long training sessions. Sometimes they grow through small, repeatable routines: reviewing one example, testing one tool, improving one caption, organising one folder, or sharing one draft for feedback.

For young creatives, a 30-minute routine can make learning feel possible even during busy weeks. Consistency helps build confidence, and confidence helps young people participate more actively in digital creative spaces.

Skills grow through repeatable habits, not only through big moments.

Bridging Creativity, Innovation & Future Careers: Highlights from the Digicreate Empower Virtual Conference!

What an incredible event! The Digicreate Empower Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange Conference brought together young creatives, educators, and industry professionals from more than six European countries to tackle one major question: How do we empower the next generation to build sustainable, resilient creative careers?

Here are the key takeaways and highlights from our sessions:

• Grounded in Reality: Milica Dedić (NVO GLAS) presented our multi-country research. The verdict? Young creatives are highly motivated but need practical business skills (contracts, freelance management, and fee negotiation) alongside their artistic talents to thrive.
• Redefining Career Journeys: Our panel, moderated by Valentina Antić, proved that non-linear careers are a superpower!
• Luka Vušurović shared how he turned a passion for historical armour into a thriving business by merging history, craftsmanship, and data. "Originality eventually becomes a competitive advantage!"
• Prof. Dr Tatjana Jovanović reminded us that adaptability and continuous learning are key in an AI-driven market. "As long as you learn, they are not mistakes."
• Veronica Bracaccini urged young artists to embrace curiosity over anxiety, treat entrepreneurship as a tool to protect their art, and prioritise mental wellbeing through supportive creative communities.
• Tools for Tomorrow: Bojana Jevtović introduced the Digicreate Empower Online Platform and our massive Digital Toolbox, featuring over 140 curated digital tools covering graphic design, AI, portfolio building, and funding opportunities!
• Collaborative Energy: The day culminated in high-energy breakout workshops co-facilitated by Bojana Jevtović, Valentina Antić, and Luka Vušurović.
Instead of just listening, our participants took centre stage, debating challenges, sharing real-world experiences, and shaping the future roadmap of our project.

As our moderators and Milica Dedić (NVO GLAS) officially closed the event, one message stood out above all: the absolute highlight of this conference was the contagious enthusiasm of everyone involved. Despite the physical distance, this virtual exchange proved that our shared passion for empowering the next generation knows absolutely no borders! ❤️

A massive thank you to our incredible partners, brilliant speakers, and every single participant who brought their energy to the table. The conference may be over, but the Digicreate Empower journey is just getting started. Let’s keep creating, learning, and collaborating!
