1.2.7 The BarCamp sessions on day 2
Session 1: Online exchanges for children 18 May in the morning
A grant total of 14 BarCampers took part in Lisa Thierry and Katrin Jäkel ’s breakout session on the morning of day 2 of Digital Transformer Days 2022. Their presentation showed that organising a successful online exchange for children aged 9 to 12 requires a sound pedagogical concept. Everything needs to be thoroughly prepared; children can’t work online for more than half an hour; and it’s important to incorporate offline activities for the national groups, too. Lisa and Katrin talked about a Franco-German youth exchange they organised between Blossin youth centre and the M-ECK youth club (Cottbus) in Germany and the ECCO Association (Ardennes) in France. The main success factors here were online and offline language animation as well as a mix of

analogue and online activities – which energised the children and helped create a productive and dynamic atmosphere in the group. The motto here was “ less (technology) is more ” . It turned out that because the children already got to know each other during the online phase of the project, they were able to communicate more smoothly when they later met in person. That said, without the in-person phase of the project, the encounter would not have felt complete.
Session 2: Living Labs: “I am another” – a hybrid German-Greek youth exchange 18 May in the morning
“I am another” is the title of a hybrid German-Greek youth exchange that was organised as part of the IJAB project Living Labs: Internationale Begegnungsorte für Toleranz . The Living Labs project is all about exploring the crucial success factors of digital projects, initially without regard to rules and regulations around funding. Adonis Bertos, leader of the Dare.Dance.Digitalize project and one of the four team leaders of the German-Greek exchange, connected to DTD2022 via videolink from Athens, Greece to talk about videodance storytelling as an artistic method to explore racism, identity and alterity with young people from Germany and Greece. During this BarCamp session, participants discussed how to design ideal hybrid settings for the future.
