What will happen in your session?

The session is a workshop in which we will take the participants to their childhood with the objective of simulating the activities carried out by the young people within the framework of the project in Colombia. We will ask attendees to remember someone that inspired them as children, and run an imaginary interview to then, tell the story of this person. what technology do they use to share this story with the people of the community? taking into account that it can not be just “Internet”. We will explain The Planet is the School as a project focus in sharing knowledge using technology in a broader way, for instance with draws, posters, local networks, etc.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

Based in a creative methodology, focus in the motivations and stories rather than technology itself, we want to generate a conversation about the digital inclusion, innovation and opportunities for young people in complex territories with social conflict and low or no connectivity to the internet. This is important, because we need to give a special place to thought, creativity, communication, socialization and happiness, as the Colombian writer William Ospina said in his book "La lámpara maravillosa"
