The document discusses a "Youth Work Online Month of Action" which focuses on rethinking responses to youth online, sharing good practices, and building workforce capacity. It argues that blocking and restriction-focused responses are counterproductive, undermine youth rights, neglect youth's digital lives, and exclude youth from important debates. Instead, it promotes supporting digital citizenship, empowering youth, responding to risks while promoting resiliency, and providing positive online spaces shaped by youth.
