Project Summary

Supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs is an ongoing challenge for front-line youth workers and they are expected to respond to these persistent problems with little in terms of training support to develop new methodologies to keep pace with the digital and social media habits of youth today. For the youth of today technology is ubiquitous. Over time technology has fused itself with learning, both in education and personal development. Smart phones, tablets and laptops are just some of the devices that are frequently used by a large proportion of the population of Europe, particularly young people. In 2016, 91% of young people in the EU made daily use of the internet. (Euro Stat).

The INFOGRAFIA project will develop and pilot a completely new type of entrepreneurship training through the provision of a full suite of innovative interactive inforgraphics addressing the 3 key themes of Into Action, Resources and Ideas & Opportunities which are the pillars of EntreComp. 5 interactive infographics will be developed for each thematic area resulting in a suite of 15 infographics each one focusing on a clear, succinct message. While these infographics will obviously have a direct impact as simple posters or images to display or share through social media, the real innovation of the INFOGRAFIA project is that each of the 15 infographics will contain a QR code which leads directly to a fully interactive version with a range of different learning resources embedded as videos, audios, quizzes, puzzles, digital breakouts, etc. Each of the 12 interactive infographics will comprise a combination of at least 3 or 4 different learning resources that address the specific topic chosen. This will help to ensure that all learning styles can be catered for and that the learning outcomes can be reinforced throughout the learning experience. To support the implementation of these resources the project will also develop an In-service training programme for front-line youth workers to build their skills to develop interactive infographics; an Online interactive portal – INFOGRAFIA MOOC that hosts all the learning materials developed and is accessed through QR code contained on the hard copy infographics developed.

By the end of the project:
– 15 interactive infographics addressing one of the 15 areas outlined in EntreComp will be developed in 5 partner languages – 30 front-line youth workers will complete the pilot of the in-service training programme
– 250 young people will engage with the interactive infographics developed through the online portal provided
