Digital Youth Month 2025 – Call for Participation

Digital Youth Month (DYM) is back for its 6th edition, running from February 1 to 28, 2025! This annual initiative, launched by Printemps numérique, invites institutions, organizations, and businesses to collaborate in promoting the development of digital skills among youth under the age of 35. This year’s theme, Your Culture, Your Identity!, will explore the challenges and impact of digital technology on cultural creation and consumption.

Become a contributor for Digital Youth Month 2025!

DYM 2025 is a key moment in the year to inspire and empower young people to develop their digital skills and explore future-oriented fields. As a contributor, you’ll benefit from a province-wide campaign highlighting your initiatives registered on the DYM platform, whether or not they align with this year’s theme. Whether you offer workshops, educational resources, or interactive exhibits, DYM is the perfect opportunity to showcase your expertise, inspire young minds, and encourage a positive reflection on the opportunities offered by digital technology.
