A Learning Program for High Schools that fosters Creativity & Innovation
The needs of 21st century young learners are different from previous generations: in addition to mastering broad educational subjects, they need to succeed in a digital and interconnected world and master innovation, creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration. Furthermore, young learners are experiencing a high level of stress due to normal and extraordinary circumstances and need to develop a practice around their wellbeing.
The project research and work aimed to explore the following research question:
“How might we build a useful and relevant learning framework and a digital platform that fosters creativity, well-being, & co-creation across different high schools in Europe?”
We call this project and aim the BANG! project.
You can read more about the project and the framework and toolbox that was made here: https://www.banglearningframework.eu
The purpose of the BANG! project was to give every young learner (16 to 18 years old) the opportunity to develop knowledge and abilities that are central to their happiness, relation to labour market success, further education and being an active member of society, while exploring a sense of community and direction that is not restrained by social background or economic condition.
