Tech work
The objective of the project is to train and equip young people with the skills to use technology to create their own educational programs. The aim is to empower young people to take ownership of their own learning and to become active agents in their own education.
From a youth work practice perspective, the objectives of the project are as follows:
- To provide young people with the necessary knowledge and skills to create their own educational programs using technology.
- To enable young people to become more independent learners and to take responsibility for their own learning.
- To encourage young people to be more creative in their approach to learning and to think outside the box.
- To promote collaboration and teamwork among young people, as they work together to create their own educational programs.
- To foster digital literacy and technological competence among young people, equipping them with the tools they need to navigate the digital world.
- To provide young people with an opportunity to develop their leadership and communication skills as they design and present their educational programs.
Overall, the goal of the project is to empower young people to become active agents in their own learning, to develop their digital skills, and to become more confident, competent, and creative learners.
We aim to implement a variety of activities that are engaging and informative for our participants. We have planned for a total of 9 days, with a balance of morning and afternoon activities each day. These activities include:
- Icebreaker activities to help participants get to know each other and feel comfortable in the group
- Workshops on non-formal education and design thinking, which will help participants to develop their own educational programmes using digital tools
- Interactive sessions on electronic game design and website creation, which will help participants to develop their technical skills and learn how to use digital tools effectively
- Photography and videography workshops to allow participants to develop their creativity and learn how to create visually appealing content
- A day exploring Elafonisos Village to give participants an opportunity to learn about the history and culture of Greece
- Daily feedback sessions to ensure that participants are engaged and have a chance to reflect on what they have learned
In terms of the number and profile of participants, we are expecting a total of 30 participants from 5 different European countries Greece, Romania, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria. We aim to have a balance of male and female participants, with a mix of ages and backgrounds to ensure a diverse and inclusive group.
