The primary focus of the project s to empower young people, particularly those at risk of Exploitation, by engaging them through digital outreach to create opportunities to develop discrepancies whilst increasing digital literacy. create a popup gaming booth, a mobile and engaging learning platform equipped with digital tools and resources. This booth will serve as a hub for promoting digital literacy and awareness among young people. The grant will enable us to bridge the digital divide that often leaves marginalised youth at a disadvantage.

By providing access to technology such as Oculus headset technology and interactive digital programs, for example, the Tapout app and Augmented reality police perception resource (please find attached ), we aim to ensure that young people from all backgrounds have equal opportunities to develop their digital skills whilst exploring behaviours and choice that can lead to positive or negative life experiences. Building on the success of the joint partnership work with Lutons Targeted Youth Service, we continue to work with the TREE project. The TREE project – Tackling, Reducing and Ending Exploitation sees youth and charity workers team up with police officers to conduct joint outreach work across the area. Via the pop-up digital outreach unit, we hope to engage even more disadvantaged young people across the town by deploying our popup gaming booth. We will create opportunities for direct engagement with the youth, fostering meaningful conversations about digital issues and safety.
