Young people will use their skills, innovation and creativity to find a solution to a challenge they have identified in their community. GoLevelUp is Foróige’s creative digital skills and innovation programme, developed with support from Accenture. It explores animation, digital storyboarding, and design, while also introducing young people to digital literacy and digital citizenship concepts through fun and engaging activities. GoLevelUp is split into 3 modules:
GoLevelUp is designed for 10-14 year olds and serves as an introduction to creative digital skills. It covers topics from podcasting, animation, storyboarding and design, to exploring digital wellbeing, safety, and our digital footprint. Through the programme young people use their skills, innovation and creativity to collaboratively find a solution to a challenge they have identified in their life, their community and society. GoLevelUp 2.0 is designed for young people aged 14-18, building on the skills and knowledge established in GoLevelUp. Using design thinking approaches and expanding on topics in digital communication, collaboration, privacy and cyber security, young people are challenged to develop a solution to a challenge facing their community.
