ABOUT THIS MODULE

In this workshop participants will explore the city as well as have little tasks to document their journey. The journey is guided by the app actionbound. The idea is to use an app for orientation and to learn more about the history of the city the learners are visiting. The workshops also includes some interaction with the locals and all participants should have a positive mindset for outdoor activity (includes a little coffee break – at everybody’s own cost). the documentation is done through pictures and videos that include some of the sights, participants feelings during the race and some creativity as well (selfies, group pictures, short videos). Participants are divided into 4-5 people’s groups and they need at least one tablet with a SIM slot or a smartphone (for the race game Actionbound-app) and a second one for documentation (pics & videos are put togther as a ebook with a Book Creator -app).
