Makerspaces in digital youth work, Training Course, 3-8 July 2017 | Luxembourg, Luxembourg
In this training course, you will discover how to prepare young people to the challenges of a digital world by tackling their curiosity and creativity in the context of ICT. Makerspaces offer a non-formal learning experience in fields such as robotics, 3D printing, programming, reverse engineering, design, electronics and many more. They encourage youngsters to overcome their fear of contact, discover the endless possibilities of tinkering, try out new things, make mistakes, learn from them and become confident creators themselves. At the same
time, makerspaces become social hubs for interaction and personal development – a place where youth work can happen in the most creative way!
This training is for you if you are:
• Working with children or young people in a non-formal environment
• Enthusiastic about the possibilities of new technologies and digital tinkering
• Already working with children or youngsters in a makerspace or similar institution or planning to set one up
• Willing to share your knowledge and exchange best practices
• Supported by your organization to become part of an international network of “maker-enthusiastic” youth workers
