CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN YOUTH WORK

CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN YOUTH WORK

Preparation

This e-handbook is focused on Innovation in youth work and it is intended for practitioners who are looking for innovative tools to use in their activities with young people, including digital youth work. The approaches covered are: Art of Hosting, Design Thinking, Humour Techniques, Learning Experience Design, Digital Storytelling (animation), Gamification, Photovoice and Visualisation.

Description of activity

In this eHandbook, practitioners can also find step-by-step methods and activity descriptions that can be put into practice immediately. Finally, it provides a list of resources and existing free online tools for youth workers. This guide is an innovative output itself since in youth work, there are no publications specifically about creativity and innovation. Moreover, this is the first time the tools explored in this project have been gathered in one toolbox, specifically adapted for youth workers, with tips and recommendations for implementing these methodologies in various youth work settings to promote inclusion and youth participation. This eHandbook is a fundamental piece of our project as it enables mainstreaming of the methodologies covered. It will be a permanent and free resource for all youth workers all around Europe.
