DIY²-Lab
DIY² stands for Do-It-Yourself in Digital International Youth Work. In March 2021, IJAB launched DIY² Lab, an online format for youth work professionals who are interested in experimenting with digital international youth work methods. DIY² Lab offers practitioners a low-threshold, online and participatory opportunity to test digital tools and methods, to experiment collaboratively and to discuss both practical and fundamental issues relating to digital international youth work. At each DIY² Lab session, an expert is invited to deliver a keynote speech and introduce practical experimentation methods, in this way stimulating dialogue.
The DIY² Lab currently takes place four times a year on Thursdays from 2.00 to 3.30 pm, with sessions held alternately in German and English. The next DIY² Labs are scheduled to take place on 26 September 2024 and 12 December 2024.
