Globe Trotters

Globe Trotters joined four organizations from three countries; Spain, Malta, and Italy, to get inspired by their international leadership methodologies.

The goal of this project funded by the EU Commission was to gather women entrepreneurs with strong social engagement and give them tools to internationalize their projects. Institute For Futures led the first international workshop in Valkiria Hub Space, Barcelona where we co-created a game inspired by 10 international leaders from different continents as you can see in the image, we called them Avatars: activists, politicians, scientists, artists, etc. to find the match between the entrepreneur and the avatar. 

After this session enriched with materials and different methodologies on Internationalization, the team members had the final event hosted by SkillsZone Malta.

Special thanks to Framework organization from Torino, Italy for their amazing experience in project writing and bring such an interesting topic to Meet & Map. We contributed to bringing together the consortium, as usual, bringing people to meet and finding together a way to map things out!

They came with more than 20 different programs. We had to choose one, although we talked about several at the meeting.
We chose
Vincles
as it is a project that can also be translated into several languages.
Vincles
is an application that is provided to the elderly together with a tablet that is given to them free of charge. There is a social worker who helps them learn how it works.

Esplai Foundation
It has an area dedicated exclusively to digital literacy. They go hand in hand with a methodology called Aprenentatge i Servei where those who receive knowledge put it at the service of a volunteer.

That is what they did with the case they presented to us:

Connecta Jove
An intergenerational example. Young people who teach older people how to use their phones or computers, after having received specific technological training at their center. In this way the benefits are very broad, since the young people also learn to be of service, in a voluntary capacity, and the elderly feel seen and cared for by new generations that are not family, but community.

Cibernarium and Libraries of Barcelona
Cibernarium is an important technology center in the city where many types of digital literacy events and trainings are facilitated. Together with the Libraries, this program has been created to bring digitization tools to all neighborhoods.
