 Albanian Day of Girls in ICT: A unique opportunity to experience the digital world!

 Digital tools offer an endless range of opportunities to be innovative and creative, and moreover, through them one can artistically express diverse ideas, perspectives and vision for the future. In regard to this, our main focus will be to support, encourage and provide opportunities for young girls to use technology as a tool to express their creative, artistic and innovative side.

Description of our activities:

1- Introductory training sessions will take place through online platforms a few days before April 22. These training sessions will have a specific highlight on the tools and programs used for creating digital artworks.

2- Practical tasks for participants to create digital artworks with the general theme: "Using technology as an essential and creative tool to propose innovative solutions for the global challenges of the 2030Agenda for Sustainable Development”.

3- Organizing the final event on April 22 with various speakers and also presenting  the “Digital Exhibition” from the previously collected materials of digital artworks.

 Objectives:

- Supporting young girls coming from a general education background  to learn and work more closely with creative digital tools and programs, fostering their desire and interests to consider a future career in this profile.

- Expanding and strengthening the digital skills and competencies of girls in Vocational Education Schools, through a unique opportunity to put their creative and innovative ideas for the future into practice.
