1.2.6 Keynote address by Karel Hájek: “Explore, create, meet”
Karel Hájek is a drama coach, language animation expert and coach and member of the č oj č drama network in the Czech Republic. On day 2 of DTD22, he amazed the participants with his enthusiasm for experimentation, his long track record in German-Czech youth exchanges and his extensive experience of the digital world , which he uses to design attractive and creative online exchanges. “Let’s flip the paradigm ! “ is an inspirational motto for him, but also for all those who have spent the last three years helping to shape digitalisation in this field. T hey don’t see virtual settings as a substitute for in -person exchanges, but rather as an opportunity that allows youth work professionals to offer activities that would not be possible offline. This involves re-thinking, re-designing and creating concepts for virtual settings from the outset, rather than adapting existing offline concepts to an online space.
”Let’s flip the paradigm!“ – Karel Hájek
According to Karel, an attractive online setting means putting together a mix of digital elements in line with one’s requirements: for internal and/or external communication and PR, for collaborative work, for informal leisure activities, for presenting information and project outcomes, for a discussion platform... There are many different permutations that team leaders and young people can agree on in preparation for a successful virtual activity.
