The project aims to explore the virtual space as a space for learning within the youth work context. The idea here is to optimize the experience lived by young people online during a learning process that includes diverse and multicultural groups. The project assumes that virtual learning is a resourceful concept that needs to be activated fully in the next few years. Learning in an online course is not much different than learning during a virtual youth exchange. It requires active participation, self-expression and openness to learn from others. For that the project will analyze both settings (virtual exchanges and e-learning) and collect data on learning trajectories from young people to conduct a full research based on theory of E-learning and youth work practice. Another common dominator between both settings is the use of ICT (Information and communication technology) tools. When providing young people with an opportunity to participate in a virtual youth exchange, youth workers activate young people’s knowledge about ICT tools. That opens access to young people to become more ICT oriented and empower them to use it in other learning settings. The project has 7 main activities as described separately below:1) Kick-off Meeting / APV: A meeting to formally start the project. It is an opportunity for all project team members to meet and get to know each other well. 2) Meta youth exchange: The approach is to consult young people and stimulate their creativity and critical thinking on the topic of E-learning and virtual exchanges. Participants will reflect on the process of learning within a multicultural group.3) Virtual Youth Exchange (VYE) The exchange will take 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. 4) Preparation Meeting / Mid Project Evaluation: First Content development for the coming staff training. Trainers and project team will meet to finalize the content of the training as the previous 2 events along with the research draft outputs will fine tune the training content.5) Staff Training course: This activity is a capacity building for youth workers on ICT tools and the needs of young people regarding E learning experiences (including Virtual exchanges). The training will present the potential of using virtual space for learning in youth work. 6) Evaluation / Dissemination Event: Project team will have time to reflect and evaluate the outcomes of the project, the partnership and the sustainability of results. 7) ResearchThis is an extended activity throughout the entire project timeline. It aims to produce the intellectual output of the project which is a publication on facilitating a virtual learning experience in youth work context.
