The toolkit
The toolkit is the latest output from the Connexion s project, and aims to provide an overview of the benefits and constraints of using digital technology to experience intercultural interactions online, while offering practical recommendations for engaging in civic activities through online platforms. It gives young people the keys to owning and creating their own intercultural online event. Based mainly on the final experimental activity of Connexion s (a hybrid physical/online weekend), we draw conclusions here and suggest concrete ideas for events to suit different needs.

The objectives of this toolkit
This Toolkit is the final production of the Connexion·s project, an initiative created in 2022, in a post-covid context. It has been co-constructed by 4 associations working in different countries: Tunisian Forum for Youth empowerment in Tunisia, Eclosio in Belgium, Coalition of youth organizations SEGA in Northern Macedonia and Engagé-e-s & Déterminé-e-s (project leader) in France.
As part of the Erasmus+KA2 (Cooperation Partnership) programme, it is intended to be also a co-construction with young people in order to imagine responsible and inclusive digital alternatives to today’s intercultural experiences.
It also aims to strengthen young people’s civic commitment and participation in democratic life by using digital technology as a tool to promote intercultural experience and inclusive digital use.
This tool kit aims to provides an overview of the advantages and drawbacks associated with using digital technology for experiencing intercultural interactions online, while also offering practical recommendations to be more engaged in civic activities through online platforms. It underlines also the importance of intercultural experiences for the civic engagement journeys of the youth.
