Project 2023-3-HR01-KA210-YOU-000180977 – I dig STEAM in youth work

S ponosom najavljujemo pokretanje projekta “I Dig STEAM in Youthwork”, kojeg predvodi OUI (Hrvatska) u suradnji s organizacijama Project Spirit (Estonija) i Cultura Creativa (Španjolska). Ova inicijativa, razvijena u sklopu programa Erasmus+ KA2, ima za cilj osnažiti youth workere i edukatore kroz integraciju STEAM (znanost, tehnologija, inženjering, umjetnost i matematika) u svakodnevnu praksu uz korištenje digitalnih alata i metoda.

O projektu

Glavni cilj projekta “I Dig STEAM in Youthwork” je poboljšati kvalitetu i inovativnost rada s mladima kroz uključivanje STEAM metodologije, uz podršku digitalne pismenosti, inkluzivnosti i raznolikosti. Youth workeri će dobiti pristup modernoj online platformi i priručniku koji će im pomoći u uključivanju STEAM-a u njihove aktivnosti. Ovi resursi pružit će praktične alate, ideje i primjere za učinkovitije angažiranje mladih kroz STEAM edukaciju.

Glavne aktivnosti projekta

Projekt uključuje nekoliko ključnih aktivnosti usmjerenih na opremanje youth workera potrebnim vještinama i resursima:

• Programi osposobljavanja: Praktični treninzi za youth workere s ciljem integracije STEAM-a u njihov rad, uz fokus na digitalne alate i inkluzivne pedagoške prakse.
• Izrada priručnika za STEAM: Sveobuhvatan vodič za youth workere koji nudi strategije za uključivanje STEAM-a u njihove aktivnosti.
• Kreiranje online platforme: Ova platforma će služiti kao centar za suradnju, mentorstvo i razmjenu resursa, omogućujući youth workerima razmjenu najboljih praksi i inovativnih pristupa.
• Događaji diseminacije: Znanstveni piknici i kulturna događanja diljem Hrvatske, Estonije i Španjolske, gdje će se predstaviti rezultati projekta i angažirati lokalne zajednice.

Rezultati projekta

Na kraju projekta, sudionici će:

• Biti osnaženi inovativnim pedagoškim metodama za primjenu STEAM-a u radu s mladima.
• Imati pristup održivoj online platformi za daljnju suradnju i učenje.
• Steći praktične vještine korištenja digitalnih alata za unapređenje obrazovnih programa.
• Povećati angažman mladih u STEAM područjima kroz kreativne i interaktivne pristupe.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the “I Dig STEAM in Youthwork” project, led by OUI (Croatia) in collaboration with Project Spirit (Estonia) and Cultura Creativa (Spain). This initiative, developed under the Erasmus+ KA2 program, is designed to empower youth workers and educators by integrating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) into their everyday practices using digital tools and methods.

About the Project

The main goal of “I Dig STEAM in Youthwork” is to enhance the quality and innovation of youth work through the inclusion of STEAM methodologies, supported by digital literacy, inclusion, and diversity. Youth workers will have access to a cutting-edge online platform and a handbook to guide them in incorporating STEAM into their activities. These resources will provide practical tools, ideas, and examples that make STEAM education more accessible and effective for engaging young people.

Key Activities of the Project

The project will feature several key activities aimed at equipping youth workers with the skills and resources they need:

• Training Programs: Hands-on training for youth workers to integrate STEAM into their work, with a focus on digital tools and inclusive pedagogical practices.
• Development of a STEAM Handbook: A comprehensive guide for youth workers, offering strategies to incorporate STEAM principles into their activities.
• Creation of an Online Platform: This platform will serve as a hub for collaboration, mentoring, and sharing resources, enabling youth workers to exchange best practices and innovative approaches.
• Dissemination Events: Including science picnics and cultural events across Croatia, Estonia, and Spain, these events will showcase the project’s outcomes and engage local communities.

Project Outcomes

By the end of the project, participants will:

• Be empowered with innovative pedagogical methods for applying STEAM in youth work.
• Have access to a sustainable online platform for continued collaboration and learning.
• Gain practical skills in using digital tools to enhance their educational programs.
• Increase youth engagement in STEAM-related fields through creative and interactive approaches.
