VIRTUALTOOLSBEFORE,DURINGAND AFTERPANDEMICTIMES

Looking in hindsight, it’s clear that was not the best time to have a training and moreover not one about virtual tools. More than 2 years passed since covid 19 started and still people were frightened because of virus and extra was added the war that just started in Ukraine. But we tried to overpass these fears and to forget that most of us were oversaturated with online meetings on zoom and working or learning from home.

But our trainers were so inspired that they transformed efficient the topic into a fluent and fun learning. In the beginning most of us were afraid about long lessons and bla,bla,bla about different tools but in the end turned to be a very good approach of HOW and WHEN to use the virtual tools in mobilities we organize or take part.

Before doing that as a warm up we had 2 session that created a good image of what and which these tools were before covid, during pandemics and at that moment. Working in mixed teams we realized what are common and different aspects in our activities as youth workers and life in general, what we knew and what we discovered. Then using “world café” as a method each of us could contribute to every topic and understand better the situation.
