Great to see @GraemeDeyMSP @ScotGovEdu with us for our #DYWConf25 and speaking with so many young people about their online lives and skills

[Tim Frew @timfrew]

Love the juxtaposition of the morning and afternoon workshops in this room. Youth Work is doing both things at once, empowering young people to create fabulous new things, and to avoid social harms #DYWConf25 @YouthLinkScot thx @NKBLScotland @AbertayUni

[Tim Frew @timfrew]

Fantastic to have colleagues from @natyouthagency inputting at our #DYWConf2025 and other folk have travelled quite far to be here today @Medway_Youth

Pleased Minister @GraemeDeyMSP emphasised the crucial role of face-to-face youth work. We need offline & online engagement to ensure young people are supported to navigate the offline/online worlds they inhabit - it’s not an either/or. #DYWConf25 #SaferInternetDay @YouthLinkScot

[Tim Frew @timfrew]

Key messages today on #digitalinclusion and #digitalpoverty from the Minister @GraemeDeyMSP as he starts off our conference. Partnerships across charity, government and business are key #SaferInternetDay #DYWConf25 @YouthLinkScot

[Tim Frew @timfrew]

Excited for #DYWConf2025
Having already spoken with some of young people and projects involved it’s going to be great. #SaferInternetDay @YouthLinkScot. Last what wasn’t bad either https://t.co/cmmFOCv6j4

[Young Scot @YoungScot]

We want to hear from young people about what they think of volunteering in Scotland in our new survey! 🗣️

The feedback will help @YoungScot, @volunteer_scot, @YouthLinkScot & @ScotGov develop future volunteering services 🙋
