She asked if we might offer an online internship opportunity. Her chance inquiry lit a spark that has spread and become the incandescent core of Global Nomads Group\u2019s current programming.<\/p>\n<p>Global Nomads Group\u2019s Content Creation Lab is an intensive project-based learning experience for youth interns. Each cohort of interns creates digital learning content that reaches thousands of young people with compelling information and diverse perspectives, as well as opportunities and inspiration for youth to engage and take action on the issues they\u2019re most concerned about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCovid showed us the possibilities for new kinds of work across distance and difference. Suddenly we had the ability to engage young people in the way we develop content,\u201d says Program Manager Katie Cox.<\/p>\n<p>Each Content Creation Lab cohort of youth interns (ages 11-23) completes a foundational anti-bias training before dividing into cross-national teams led by experienced peer leaders. They then decide which topics to explore, using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a framework to identify issues with universal relevance to achieving a more just, equitable and sustainable world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving the voices in the room of those most impacted is crucial, particularly people who are not used to being valued and reflected in learning content,\u201d Katie explains. \u201cWe actively recruit and select for a variety of experiences, including age, gender, race, nationality and neurodiversity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Global Nomads Group\u2019s professional staff provide training and coaching in curriculum development, online accessibility, user experience (UX), and video production. We equip youth with the tools they need to organize and collaborate among themselves. Experienced interns. mentor new ones, coaching them on time management, organizational skills, creative thinking, and technical skills to produce excellent educational content.<\/p>\n<p>The results have been profound. Content Creation Lab cross-national teams have produced online courses, educational videos, live virtual convenings, and social media campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>The program helps teens realize they are not alone in their concern for the planet and the future of humanity or in their desire to be part of the solutions. Knowledge and connectedness lead to confidence, belonging, and hopefulness about the difference they can make. These empowering experiences can be transformative for teens experiencing isolation and anxiety about the world\u2019s pressing issues \u2013 particularly in the COVID era.<\/p>\n<p>An external evaluation found that Content Creation Lab interns gained an increased sense of empathy and greater competence in communication, collaboration and leadership. 100% said they built a better understanding of their professional strengths and that they felt a strong sense of belonging \u2013 and of self.<\/p>\n<p>To date, seven cohorts comprising 112 youth from 26 countries have collaborated on Content Creation Lab cross-national design teams. In turn, the learning experiences they\u2019ve created have reached more than 7,000 youth in 53 countries, generating positive youth outcomes for participants around empathy, perspective taking, and action orientation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYouth are leaders, creators, and curators of inclusive collaborative spaces,\u201d Katie effuses. \u201cThis is project-based learning at its very best.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cYouth are leaders, creators, and curators of inclusive collaborative spaces.
