Project Description
The DIVE-IN project is an international PDA developed under the Erasmus program, intending to strengthen the skills and knowledge of youth workers in the field of creativity and innovation.
During the course, participants will have the opportunity to explore the concept of creativity and innovation, understanding its relevance in working with young people and its implications for personal and social development. Theories and models of creativity will be discussed, as well as case studies that demonstrate their practical application in different contexts.
Participants will be engaged in interactive and hands-on activities aimed at developing creative skills and learning techniques to stimulate innovation. Approaches such as divergent thinking, design thinking, gamification, and storytelling, among others, which can be applied in projects and activities with young people, will be explored.
Additionally, the course will provide a collaborative learning environment, bringing together youth workers from various countries. Moments of sharing experiences, discussions, and joint reflections will be promoted, allowing participants to expand their network of contacts and enhance their professional practice through knowledge exchange.
By the end of the course, youth workers will be better prepared to apply creative and innovative approaches in their daily work. They will be able to engage young people more effectively, stimulate their active participation, encourage critical thinking, and promote the development of innovative solutions to social and personal challenges.
DIVE-IN is a unique opportunity for professionals in the field to broaden their horizons, acquire new tools, and become agents of change in their communities, driving creativity and innovation as drivers of development and social transformation.
During the professional development activities, you will be challenged to:
· Embrace creativity: Step out of your comfort zone, think outside the box, and explore innovative ideas and approaches.
· Foster Innovation: Develop innovative solutions to challenges faced by young people, both at individual and societal levels.
