Activity Schedule

  • Day 1-2: Welcome and team building

    The first two days are all about getting to know each other and laying the foundation for a strong, collaborative group. You’ll participate in ice-breaking activities, team-building exercises, and cultural exchanges that will help create a positive and inclusive atmosphere. We’ll also introduce you to the project’s goals and the non-formal learning approach we’ll be using throughout.

  • Day 3-9: Mastering digital skills

    We’ll focus on enhancing our technical abilities through practical workshops and creative projects. We’ll begin by exploring the basics of digital content creation, such as crafting compelling videos, designing eye-catching graphics, and creating engaging social media posts. Early on, we’ll dive into the world of social media by creating TikTok videos or Instagram reels. As the days progress, we’ll delve deeper into video production and editing, mastering the tools and techniques needed to produce professional-quality content.

    Additionally, we’ll work on designing a social media content calendar, where we’ll strategize how to promote our brand over a month. We’ll also develop our graphic design capabilities, learning how to create visually appealing content that communicates effectively. Further sessions will have us analyzing well-known marketing campaigns, giving us valuable insights into digital marketing strategies and understanding how to tailor content for different audiences and platforms. By the end of this phase, we’ll have built a strong foundation in digital competencies, equipped to create, promote, and strategically share our own content with confidence.

    On the final day, we’ll reflect on everything we’ve accomplished together. You’ll have the chance to share your thoughts, give feedback, and celebrate your achievements. We’ll wrap up the day by discussing future dissemination activities, reflecting on our experiences, and assessing the program’s impact. We will distribute Youthpasses, followed by a fun and festive celebration to mark the end of our journey.
