Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

Participants will know about youth-driven collaborative construction of cross-cultural curricula aligned to the SDGs.

Participants will understand the importance of youth-driven content via rigorously designed programs.

Participants will know how to use curricula derived from cross-national youth collaborations.

Participants will experience the programs as youth do, thereby sharing and reading stories of their global peers on social issues that matter to them.

Outline

Our session will begin in a main room where youth presenters will review the overall process of the Content Creation Lab, and explain the use of backwards design and cross-national collaboration. This section will include a mixture of presentation and discussion.

Next, participants will go to breakout rooms to dive deeper into specific thematic content, featuring mini-lessons, youth stories and videos.

The presentation will last 90 minutes with a 20 minute main room overview, 40 minutes in thematic breakout rooms, and a 30 minute Q and A in the main room.

Youth content creators will lead participants through an interactive experience in which they will engage with youth-generated curricula, participate as students, and learn how to engage students in curricular content creation. We will use the screen share feature to showcase youth-driven content. In breakout rooms, participants will engage with the curricula as students via presented content, videos, and story submission tools. After completing the breakout room interactive session, all participants will return to the main room for a Q and A using the chat function.
