Training Course
12-18 October 2020 | Tirana, Albania
Maker education is a problem-based and project-based approach to learning. It emphasizes the use of low-tech and high-tech gadgets, a trial-and-error mindset, and it encourages learners to develop 21st century skills such as communication, creativity and problem solving.
Our project is providing 2 opportunities for youth workers to explore maker education, exchange on these topics with individuals from across Europe, brainstorm new tools, methods and techniques relevant to this field.
Calling for participants from Latvia, France, Romania, Albania, Greece, Italy!
WHEN?
Autumn 2020 mobility: October 12th to October 18th

Digijeunes (Youth NGO)
Digjeunes' core area of work is focused on the promotion of digital technology among young people, as well as youth workers and educators. We believe it is a great asset for young people to have a real understanding of technology, in order to solve the challenges of tomorrow, whether economic, technical or even ecological.
Our activity, beyond training, aims to recreate a link between European peoples, by giving them memories and common knowledge. To do this, we work in partnership with schools, social centres, and public events, in order to always be as close as possible to social realities.
