Peer-to-peer STEM learning for young people via Open Educational Resources (OER) for e-waste reduction [RE-PEER]

RE-PEER project [Peer-to-peer STEM learning OER for e-waste reduction] aims to:
- Raise awareness on WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) recycle, repair & reuse, focusing on the European directives and consumers possibilities (WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU) through a practical guidance step-by-step booklet for youth organisations capacity-building [O1];
- Design, develop, implement, evaluate and validate an innovative learning course focused on e-gadget repairing, reusing & repairing through STEM practical approach & robotics practice to introduce young people/teenagers (14-16) to practical activities on tech waste. More specifically, young people will work through two basic modules, one focused on electro-technical circuits & logical codes, as well as on basic robotics for young people [O2];
- Reinforce the skills/competences of youth workers of digital-oriented organisations through the creation of a training course (C1), with a specific focus on ecological consequences & practical skills in terms of re-usage and recycle of WEEE.
- Set up an e-learning platform to contain training material for youth workers and final users (young people) connected to an open badge system for the recognition of formal and non-formal skills acquired [O3];
- Develop a STEM summer school (C2) with a practical laboratory in WEEE reuse/repair/recycle, fostering also the possibility for young people to share thoughts and to co-create creative and sustainable solutions toward the promotion of a social entrepreneurship mind-set. Such a learning moment is focused on transferring relevant competencies on STEM and on practical everyday usage, also to reflect on local problems and how to counteract. During the STEM summer school, young people will show their local projects and ideas – the best ones will be rewarded with a RE-PEER badge.
