FREEYOU NEXT | Media, Data and AI for teachers and facilitators
The FREEYOU Next project started in January 2023 and is co-financed by the European Union under the Creative Europe Programme (CREA).
The project addresses young people/digital natives as the main target group and has the main objectives of:
• Capitalise on the previous experience of the FREEYOU project, including content, methodologies and communities developed by FREEYOU covering 5 countries/languages and involving people;
• Developing new content and methodologies with a focus on data reading, data use awareness, data visualisation to raise awareness about the challenges of European society, including democracy;
• Involving young digital artists in the work through data sketches and data sculpture to enrich the project methodologies and content with artistic representations to stimulate emotional change of perspectives/views and behaviours;
• Involving young people in creative co-creation processes using data to make them active users of digital and media tools;
Broaden the EU coverage of countries, languages and the transnational community of facilitators, artists and young people.
The project consortium has developed a multilingual toolkit that includes several multimedia resources on Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality involving deepfakes, synthetic media, chatbots and virtual worlds.
Now, the project consortium is launching a training programme for teachers and facilitators from different countries (Italy, Belgium, Spain and Portugal).
The training programme will be conducted online, and the live sessions will be in English.
