🏢 About the local organisation
The ijgd has been organising volunteer service programmes since 1949. We are an independent, non-profit association for international youth work, a recognised independent youth welfare organisation, and one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany. Each year, we assist around 5,000 young people into volunteer work in Germany and abroad. We give them the opportunity to be creative, act in solidarity, take responsibility for themselves, and discover their own true potential and strengths.Our 8 main principles are: Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education
💼 What the programme involves
In times where everything we do revolves around being online, meeting online and basically living our lives online an appropriate approach to the Internet and all the obstacles that evolve from it need to be spoken about. Originated in a collaboration between the ISD (Institute for Strategic Dialogue) and Youtube this web.camp will aim to show you how to be a responsible user of the digital space.
We will talk about the following topics:
- Building your media literacy: Fact checking the Internet
- Biases and filter bubbles in the Internet and Social media: What influences your use and view of the Internet?
- Building your (digital) empathy: Stereotypes and Hate Speech = Part of the Internet?
- Becoming an Internet Citizen
Like in a real ijgd workcamp, we will not only focus on a special topic, but we will come together, get to know each other and play games as well!
We would also like to encourage you to do some tasks offline and share the outcomes with the other participants.
