The Caretaker project gives students the opportunity and insight to begin a process of taking care of oneself, others and the world around us. Our traditional teaching methods in schools have remained the same without hardly taking into account the rapid evolution of technology and means of communication over the past 20 years. This technological evolution has been so rapid that our youth today (referred to as Generation Z) have even been given a new label known as “iGens”. So it is crucial that these teaching methods are adapted in order to support the needs of the students. We live in a digital era where the means are there to make this a reality. iGens excel at multitasking and have an incredible knack for “thinking beyond the box”. What is lacking is “face-to-face” and “in person” contact because it is becoming the norm to communicate through devices and apps. We cannot continue imposing old methods but instead find a common ground, therefore we have devised this project which will combine the positive of the old and the positive of the new - a healthy balance between the two. Our objective is to devise a method for us as teachers, to provide our students with the opportunity to recognise that there are ways on how to cope with the stress and pressures that impact their daily lives and to give them a safe space to do so. To guide this process, our students will address themes under four main topics: Our Future, Mental Health, Sexual Awareness and Personal Development, which are topics that are relevant to their growth. By dealing with the topics through creative expression they will explore emotions, reduce anxiety, increase self-esteem and resolve other conflicts. Through integrating live-streaming the students can instantly connect with peers in other European countries who experience similar problems and together can overcome obstacles, find solutions and achieve personal insight by sharing and discussing their creative results. YouTube will be the chosen online platform to provide information from their live-stream discussions to a wider audience. There will be up to 20 students between the ages of 13 -16 years and some teachers involved from each of the four participating European schools. The students will come from very different social and cultural backgrounds with a wide range of abilities. The one thing they have in common is that they all have to cope with their future, their personal development, their sexual awareness and their mental health. A number of tasks and challenges dealing with the aforementioned themes will be delivered through creative and practical activities. Challenges will deal with the students active engagement with the community around them. The Tasks will deal with self-reflection and will incorporate various artistic forms of expression such as drawing, painting, story telling, performance, songwriting, singing and more. These activities will be carried out by the students either working alone, in pairs, creating role plays, group work or cross-country participation through live stream via the online video chat portal “Zoom”. The students will use a prepared ‘Booth’ - which can be a small room in the school, equipped with an iPad where tasks will be given and live-streams will be held. The iPad will also be used to record the majority of the activities within the tasks and challenges. Throughout the project the students from all four schools will combine their results together to create content for a YouTube channel. It will be a collaborative platform for the students to discuss live on a bi-monthly basis the different topics, tasks and/or challenges presented to them. It will be an open space for self-reflection, different points of view, respect, compassion, peer learning, teaching and understanding. It will be a secure informative platform open to the wider public and will enable our students to become responsible YouTube users, aka YouTubers. During the last meeting with all project participants in Berlin, an exhibition will be arranged to display and showcase the students artistic outcomes resulting from their creative tasks. Throughout the project the teachers will act as supervisors and give guidance to the students and not act as teachers in the common sense. They will give the students the space and opportunity to find out about themselves and their opinions on the given themes. All of these themes have moved into focus in recent times, be it fear and anxiety over climate change and the loss of nature, different attitudes to diversity or the political development in Europe and the world. We want to enable our students to have a good outlook on their future, overcome prejudices, deal with growing up and to share their emotions with peers. The work on this project will influence our students to be responsible, civil and intentional digital and social media users - to be caretakers.
