Ensuring equal participation of youth in society is one of the biggest challenges of our times. Young people from deprived and marginalized communities as well as youth from rural areas experience huge lack of opportunities. This problem exists all over the Europe and all over the world. Inequality in opportunities became even more evident in times of COVID-19 pandemic. In the extreme situation of pandemic vulnerable groups and disadvantage communities became even more vulnerable than before. People from deprived communities and vulnerable groups are "left behind", their voices are not that loud as the voices of privileged groups.

The Covid 19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of the digital workspace, with the last two years marked by zoom calls, remote work, long-distance learning, and live-streaming. Following Covid-19, it is debatable if we should revert to our previous practices, as most businesses will likely be considerably more flexible. Simultaneously, data indicates that the majority of employers prefer part-time remote work and part-time in the office. Thus, the hybrid workspace is here to stay. As a result, digital capabilities are no longer optional; they are necessary.
