Online education
Project based learning & DBE
The major outcomes was the design of solidarity projects. Volunteers were split into groups and they worked on designing collaborative projects on a social cause which was of i interest to them.
Another product was that they learnt different things about project management tools, with special focus on the SALTO Qapp (which they afterwards used for the conception of their projects).
On the preparation days, in the training team we split the tasks within the team based on our interest/ expertise. I was responsible for team building and the training sessions of project management and the presentation of the project management tools. We shared responsibilities when it came to mentoring and support of the volunteers.
