How to draw up an inventory of the digital skills of the social work student community? Are digital skills sufficient to articulate the digital tool with the environment of professional support for beneficiaries? The challenges faced by social work professionals due to the digitalization of European society lead to the need to reflect on social work education in the face of this reality. Then, how should student communities is trained to best prepare for their future professions? Establishing a diagnosis of their digital skills, which are based on the prescriptions and values of social work, is an intellectual output of the European DLSI project, Digital Learning Social Intervention (2021-2024). This project brings together 6 partners from 5 European countries: Belgium, France, Greece, Luxembourg, and Romania. It is co-financed by ERASMUS+ "Strategic Partnership". This article proposes a conceptual and methodological framework for developing a "Digital (fr) agility Index" useful for teaching and continuing education in the field of social work.
