Virtual Youth Exchange
5 sessions / 2 hours per week - 6 participants from each partner (Youth Leader+ 5 young persons (3 of them are under the category of youth with fewer opportunities). The exchange took a non-formal educational approach through exchanging perspectives, debating controversies and challenging realities about global youth empowerment, global education and its role in peace building. Participants had time to research the topic and build a position about current realities. Then they worked in groups to discuss how these realities affect their lives and how can youth work offer opportunities within these realities. Participants learnt individually, within the national group and within international groups simultaneously. The idea here was to offer the maximum space for virtual interactions to collect data and feedback about the process.
- Identify needs of youth in a multicultural context.
- Practice peace education as a part of global education movement
- Exchange perspectives about diversity and multiculturalism in societies.
- Construct a virtual space for participants to find their own identities in and reflect on their daily identities.
- Provide an authentic virtual learning process for researchers to observe and report on learning processes during a virtual exchange, which can be used in a comparative analysis with the previous activity.
- Topics to cover during the activity:
- Online Sessions
- Group discussions
- Online tasks and missions
- Research and presentations
- Debating different perspectives
