Project: FutureLit – Future-ready, digitally literate youth

The project strengthens futures literacy and digital competences among young professionals and students, so that they are better prepared for changes in education, the labour market and society.

FutureLit is an Erasmus+ strategic partnership project in higher education (KA220-HED) that aims to strengthen futures literacy and digital competences among young professionals and students (aged 18–35) from North Macedonia, Slovenia and Austria.

The project connects futures literacy with digital, media and financial literacy, communication skills and leadership. The aim is for young people to develop knowledge and practical skills that will help them deal with the challenges of the digital economy and take an active part in social and economic change.

The project runs the “Future Readiness Academy” – a five-month interactive online programme with educational modules, monthly challenges, future scenarios, case studies and teamwork. The programme ends with the FutureX Online Summit, where participants present their innovative solutions.

The project will also develop open educational resources, including a self-paced online course and a practical guide to futures literacy, so that the results remain available and applicable after the project ends.
