Description
The aim of the Corona Kid project is to strengthen civic engagement of partners and children and youth during the coronavirus epidemic through non-formal cultural and artistic education. The specific objectives of the project are to support education in the field of civic education (CE) and human rights of children and young people, and to provide systematic support and empower children and young people int he field of CE through non-formal cultural and artistic education during the corona virus epidemic. We will provide support to children and young people, as our primary target group, through a series of online audio digitalisation workshops. In this way, children and youth will acquire new knowledge and skills related to CE, the use of new technologies and have a chance for socialization. Also, this activity will encourage them to engage in civic engagement and care for others in the time of epidemic in an innovative way. In addition to the workshop, participants (children and youth) will be able to be beneficiaries of the project as consumers of the resulting content and by actively participating in calls for actions to be created by the workshop participants. By creating articles and radio shows on these topics, we want to support education in the field of civic education during the coronavirus era. The secondary target group is the representatives of partners and workshop leaders who will acquire new knowledge and skills through the project in the use of non-formal cultural education in the field of CE. The RUKE Association is the project leader and will play the role of coordinator and contribute to the project with its experience and knowledge in the field of non-formal education of children and young people. Partner Rijeka City Library brings content creation and editing skills, while the Ri Rock Association is in the field of sound recording and editing.
