TECH-YOUTH: Young Digital Nomads, Poland 2022

During 26th of November – 3rd of December 2022, 6 participants from our association took part in a youth mobility done by our Polish partner Association for Supporting of Youth Initiatives “FENIKS”. The main goal of the project “TECH-YOUTH: Young Digital Nomads” was to increase the knowledge, awareness and competences of project participants regarding the opportunities and threats related to the use of smart devices, digital tools, social media and the Internet. The pandemic only intensified the phenomenon of transferring our activity to the digital world, making our activities, education or work completely dependent on being part of the digital world.

At least for a while we have become modern digital nomads. Together, in an international group, we reflected on the term “digital nomad” and we considered all the opportunities and threats related to this lifestyle. During the 7-days program of the mobility participants were included in different workshops and activities relevant for the main subject-matter of the project. The facilitators team used interesting non-formal learning methods adequate to the project topic and the profile of participants.

Apart from that, the participants took part in many activities, both theoretical and practical:

• presentations, brainstorming, workshops and discussions,
• practicing of DJI drones flying,
• orienteering game in Zakopane,
• language animations, ice braking games,
• trip to the mountains or sightseeing tour – depending on the weather conditions,
• national evenings and group presentations as a support to international education of the participants.
