UNESCO's Young Digital Creators Educator's Kit

Prepared within the framework of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) DigiArts/Young Digital Creators (YDC) initiative, the aim of this kit is to enable young people to use information and communication technologies (ICTs) creatively to address global challenges of development, cultural diversity, and intercultural dialogue.

The kit is designed to help teachers and educators working in schools, youth clubs, community centres, and training institutes to generate and manage project-based learning activities through creative digital practises and collaborative web applications.

The first part of the kit explains some basic concepts of the YDC teaching model. The second part introduces a detailed lesson plan with a number of learning activities that are expected to be implemented in sequence. It also includes a glossary with a set of definitions and it comes with a CD-ROM that contains a selection on free and open/source software that can be used in creative projects.

YDC is a web-based programme designed for young people of different cultures to gradually construct, through a collaborative process and creative tools, a deeper understanding of each other's cultural values and shared perspectives on current global issues.
