Ever wondered how technology, social inclusion, and leadership come together? That’s exactly what we explored in the Think Tanks—Chance for Youth project! Through a series of workshops in Czechia, young people got hands-on experience with AI, social entrepreneurship, and new ways of learning. The goal was simple: to make sure that young people—especially those with fewer opportunities—can actively participate in shaping their communities. We wanted to show how technology, creativity, and teamwork can create real change.
🚀 Technology & Creativity in Education: New Ways to Engage Youth
In Třinec we explored how cool tech like virtual reality (VR) can transform learning! Imagine stepping into a historical event or a science experiment—VR makes that possible. Another exciting part? The Human Library! Instead of reading books, participants listened to real people sharing their life stories. It was an amazing way to build empathy and understand different perspectives.
🌍 Social Enterprise & Inclusion
How can businesses make the world a better place? In this workshop, held in Ostrava, we explored social enterprises—businesses that help people, not just make money. Participants learned how to create business models that include marginalized groups and got inspired by real success stories. We even visited local social enterprises to see their impact firsthand!
🤖 AI & Fake News – Can You Spot the Lie?
AI is everywhere—even in the news! But how do we know what’s true and what’s fake? This workshop featured expert talks on AI in media, hands-on activities to spot fake news, and deep discussions on the ethics of AI. A real eye-opener!
These workshops weren’t just about learning—they were about experiencing, connecting, and making an impact. From using VR in education to tackling fake news, every session gave participants tools to navigate the modern world.
