DOT is a youth-led movement of daring social innovators who have the tools, knowledge, and networks to create opportunities and transform their own communities.
We mobilize and inspire all underserved and disadvantaged young people with digital literacy, 21st-century skills and the self-confidence that will enable them to thrive in an inclusive digital economy. We support youth to become innovators and leaders, to create and apply digital solutions that have positive impact in their communities.
We believe in
the power of
YOUTH-LED INNOVATION.
We believe that communities can be shaped by empowering youth to create SUSTAINABLE INITIATIVES
inspired by community needs.
We believe that social innovation is accelerated when supported by DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY.
We share learning in innovation and social enterprise, and collaborate with youth, the private sector, government, and community-based organisations to achieve positive social impact.
In the UK, our peer to peer model empowers refugee Digital Champions within their communities to facilitate and train other youth with DOT’s Digital Literacy and 21st Century skills curriculum.
