Creative learning activities
The rise of digital technologies is having a huge impact on the children who are growing up using devices which their parents didn’t have, and who also need to learn many different skills linked to these changing technologies. However, the way we teach in most schools has not very much adapted to these evolutions. The work of youth trainers can be very important there in implementing new methods, especially as these new technologies offer many new opportunities which are often not used in the classrooms.
In this part, we will highlight two different sections for the activities. The first one will be focused on creative activities meant to learn science or technology topics (e.g. coding) in an innovative and playful way. The second one will cover creative activities which are performed to raise the awareness of youngsters on complex societal topics.
