Apply - Winter Camp

The theme of Game On Winter Camp Moldova 2020 is:
Explore the digital world and share your story!

Based on PISA results, we can see that many children in Moldova are not motivated to read and neither do better in school. Therefore, we want to take the digital storytelling approach. We want to encourage student-centered learning. Instead of following teachers' instruction passively in class, they will be challenged to actively engage and present their own stories by using technology and multimedia. The participants will have the opportunity to read a book, make a book trailer for it, create a poster and present it. There will be many soft and hard skills developed during the camp. Thus, the concept of our winter camp will be based on digital storytelling.

Shake up the education, it's Game On time!

Details about the summer camp:

Place: FIDES Conference Center, Chisinau
Dates: 2 - 6 January
Number of campers: 60
Age of campers: 11 - 13 years old
