Educators across Europe are facing new generations of learners. We offer them classrooms and traditional teaching; many young people are not able or motivated to learn in such settings. So, increasing numbers of young people drop-out or complete their educations with poor results. They are what we call disengaged youth. Creative use of technology makes a difference - if unfolded within innovative didactics. We need to re-think learning, and how learning takes place, and what learning could be…

We must create new ideas, new ways of re-motivating disengaged youth. And we must be inspired by creative experiments in formal and non-formal settings across and beyond EU. The conference will offer 100-150 participants strong inspiration through keynote experts, interactive workshops and partnership building on media based learning, laboratory learning, game based learning and creative use of state of the art technologies in innovative settings.
