As part of the EmpoweerNEET training programme, participants explored digital skills, self-branding and impact communication. The training gave them practical tools to build their digital presence and present their skills, ideas and projects.

The fourth training cycle focused on a simple question: How can we present ourselves online, and what does our digital presence say about us?

Building a Personal Brand

Participants explored the key ideas behind personal branding. They looked at their skills, experience, interests and goals. They also learned how to present these strengths in a clear and authentic way.

The activities helped participants connect personal branding with their own goals. Some focused on finding employment. Others worked on business ideas, personal projects or professional development.

Learning by Doing

The training followed a practical and interactive approach. Participants did not only listen to presentations. They took part in exercises, created content and shared ideas with others.

A photography and editing session gave participants a chance to develop their visual communication skills. They practiced framing, positioning and composition. They also learned basic editing techniques.

The session showed participants how they can use images to present themselves, their products and their projects online.

Promoting Products and Projects

Participants also applied their digital skills to their own ideas. Some worked on ways to create and promote their own products.

They explored how to present a product, explain its value and reach potential audiences through digital platforms. This helped them connect digital communication with real projects and business ideas.

A product became an opportunity to practice branding. A project became an opportunity to practice communication. Each activity helped participants turn what they learned into practical content.

Sharing Ideas and Building Confidence

The interactive activities also encouraged participants to exchange ideas and give each other feedback. They learned from both the trainer and their peers.

Participants had different interests and goals. Some focused on employment and professional profiles. Others explored entrepreneurship, content creation or product promotion.

This diversity created opportunities for participants to explore different ways to use their new digital skills.

Shaping a Digital Identity

The training went beyond learning how to use digital tools. It encouraged participants to think about who they are, what they can offer and how they communicate online.

The trainer described the experience as a “Digital Identity Card.” The expression reflects the main idea of the training: a digital identity includes more than a profile or social media account. It also includes the skills, ideas, images and messages that shape how people present themselves online.

Through this training, participants gained practical experience in self-branding, visual content, digital communication and product promotion. They also created content and developed ideas that they can continue to use in their professional and entrepreneurial journeys.

The training was part of the EmpoweerNEET project, supported by the Interreg NEXT MED Programme, which aims to strengthen opportunities for young people and women who are not in employment, education or training (NEETs).
