Activities and Methods
Kick-off meeting (13th of May): during this session, we got to know each other, reviewed the detailed activity program and set up our learning objectives for the rest of the project.
Online sessions: These meetings we hold on weekends (from Friday to Sunday). During these sessions, we learnt about media and social media, fake news, cyberbullying, the good aspects of the internet, our behaviour in the online environment, digital footprint and digital citizenship etc. All these sessions were held in an interactive way – we had games, treasure hunts, digital escape rooms, etc. where we learned by playing.
Small group sessions: these were tasks in international groups that the participants had to do during the week. There was 2 tasks/per week. For these sessions, they were able to develop their management skills, because they had to decide in the group how they will split the responsibilities and how they are going to work to finish the tasks.
Game Nights: these were optional sessions where we met to play games, share thoughts, dance, drink something together (even though virtual) etc. The programme for these activities was totally flexible, so we decided together how often we met and for how long.
