UNESCO Young Digital Creators (YDC) Educator’s Kit is designed to help teachers and educators working in schools, youth clubs, community centres, and training institutes to generate and manage project-based learning activities with young people.

The “Young Digital Creators” (YDC) programme was designed by an interdisciplinary group of UNESCO professionals in the fields of culture, education, natural and social sciences,
communication and information. In the drawing-up process, UNESCO field offices were involved, as well as artists, musicians, educators, educational scientists specialising in new technologies, youth-organization representatives, and young people from a variety of geo-cultural backgrounds.

“Our intention was to create online programmes that would further teenagers’ and young people’s creativity by drawing on both the cognitive and the emotional dimensions of their personality. We wanted to centre the interactivity around the broad issues of our times (water, peace, life in the city, HIV and AIDS), which would lead to a sound or visual creation.”
