2. IMPLEMENTATION Once the project actually starts, things get serious. The planning phase is over; now it’s time for action. The team needs to implement what they have been planning in recent weeks or months. Maybe an event is implemented, maybe it’s a mix of event and product. Whatever the for- mat, it will involve collaborative learning that can be facilitated through the use of digital tools. An event may be entirely virtual, a mix of virtual and face-to-face (hybrid), or a purely face-to-face event that is complemented by the use of digital tools. Some collaborative formats, too, can be entirely digital, such as a campaign, video or podcast. Alternatively, it may have been produced using digital tools. Digital tools can also help to implement a wide variety of tasks around the actual event. They are described in the following section. 2.1 PROVIDING INFORMATION AND MATERIALS It makes sense – from an environmental, economic and organisational point of view – to provide digital materials even for in-person events. They can be downloaded at any time and from any location. While it makes sense to upload all information and documents to one central place, there is no limit on the formats that can be used, from texts and images to audio files, video clips and links to external content.

2.2 BREAKING THE ICE AND TEAMBUILDING Breaking the ice and teambuilding create the right atmosphere for a good youth exchange and for collaboration and makes for a positive experience for everyone. By using digital tools and above all creating virtual spaces for young people to use, organisers respond to the interests and skills of young people, who use smart - phones and digital communication to maintain friendships and keep their profiles up to date.
