SomeCamp EU is a practice oriented event aiming to create an inspiring environment for learning, sharing and co-creation.
In order to do so, the programme will combine expert inputs with active contribution from participating colleagues in thematic workshops run by participants themselves and an innovation lab.
We hope that the programme can discover the world of smart youth work, with a focus on digital youth work, as diverse as it exists*. To achieve this, we hope to see as many proposals for workshops by participants as possible!
Maybe you have developed a method, a tool or a material and would be excited to share it more broadly? Maybe you have an idea or prototype and could run a workshop to test it with colleagues and get some valuable inputs for further development? Or is there an issue, a burning question in your practice that you could raise and invite a small group of colleagues to think along with you?
Your workshop can tell about a success story or valuable experience of failure. Something to do with digital competencies, datafication, maker activities, gaming, AR/VR, artificial intelligence… It is indeed as open as it sounds, as far as it is relevant for the digital perspectives of youth work. We hope to see many workshops where participants can try out methods and tools in practice, so the more practical workshop you are proposing, the better chances you will have to run it. So please do not hesitate to propose your workshop and contribute to mutual learning and sharing!**
Working language of SomeCamp EU is English.
Before, during and after the event we will use Trello to communicate programme details and share presentations and other materials (for best experience on mobile, we recommend installing the dedicated Trello app). Trello board will be made public on 23rd of September and until then you can see our preliminary programme here:
* Smart youth work is an innovative development of youth work, encompassing the digital youth work practice as well as including a research, quality and policy component (Council Conclusions on Smart Youth Work, 2017). Digital youth work means proactively using and/or addressing digitaal media and technology in youth work practice as a tool, an activity and/or as content (European Guidelines for Digital Youth Work, 2019).
** The organisers will commit to reimburse part of the international travel costs for those participants who will contribute to the programme with a workshop. In case there are more workshop proposals than the programme can host, the selection wil be made by organisers to best fit the profile of the event and participants. In case your workshop proposal is accepted and will be included in the programme, we will individually inform about the administrative steps for partial reimbursement.
