CfDP – Centre for Digital Youth Care is a socioeconomic company. It deals with social work in new media, imparts knowledge of digital education and offer collaborative projects. Moreover, the centre runs the projects for children and young people, Cyberhus and the Cyberskole. The organisation is anchored in the national organisation, Ungdommens Vel.
CfDP – Centre for Digital Youth Care is rooted in Cyberhus.dk, which is an online socioeducational club house. Via Cyberhus.dk, we have six years of experience in meeting, involving, and counselling children and young people online.
Moreover, over the last four years we have submitted web and mobile ethics to debate at the Danish schools via the Cyberskole. It is initiatives like these that have contributed to the development of our unique and extensive knowledge in the digital youth care area – a knowledge we now impart through CfDP – Centre for Digital Youth Care.
Our activites as Cyberhus from 2008 through 2010 have just been independently evaluated – read an English summary here.
Centre for Digital Youth Care’s digital counseling in Cyberhus deals with internet-related issues, as a part of the EU Insafe program, and has served as the Danish helpline in close collaboration with Save the Children, Denmark and the Council for Children and Young People since 2009.
