Join us for this year’s Digitale Welten Festival: Reprogramming Reality in Frankfurt! Spend 3 days working with enthusiastic youth to develop projects that engage creatively and critically with both online and offline worlds and their binary structures.

  • Facilitate: Help them brainstorm and turn their ideas into actionable projects.

Once you’ve signed up, we’ll guide you through the process and let you know everything you need to know and do.

Under the motto C0DES & FRI3NDS, young people between the ages of 10 and 18 are invited to take part in four art and programming workshops dealing with friendship, technology and artificial intelligence.

Instructed by international artists Janne Nora Kummer, Sarah Fartuun Heinze, Naoto Hieda, Stine Marie Jacobsen and Joni Barnard, the participants will develop exciting projects to explore our digital-analog world in a creative and critical way.

Digitale Welten is all about trying things out and thinking critically about our digital society! Whether with code or with scissors and paper, screwdriver or clipboard. The focus is on exploring social issues through art and technology.

 

→ What are your tasks?

As a workshop assistant, you will support an artist in the preparation and implementation of their workshop: You will get to know the artists and the Digitale Welten team in an online kick-off meeting. Then, you will assist in workshop planning, organizing workshop materials, and setting up the space. During the workshop, you will be a point of contact for the participants and assist them in realizing their projects or providing support when needed. You will contribute your own ideas and skills (in art, social or media education) as well as your organizational talent. You will step in when last-minute items need to be procured or organized. After the workshop, you will be available for joint reflection on the workshop and assist in preparing the workshop’s “results” for the Digitale Welten exhibition.

The workshops will take place from October 23 to 25, from 11 am to 4 pm, in Frankfurt am Main. The setup will take place approximately 1-2 hours before the start of each workshop. The exact location will be announced soon. Immediately following the workshops, together with the artists, we will develop the exhibition, which will open on October 27 at the TOR Art Space. At the opening, you will be welcoming the participants from your workshop.

→ What should you bring?

  • A strong interest in collaborative, creative, and critical thinking, researching, and
    communicating
  • A strong interest in media and internet culture as well as the complex interplay of technology, society, culture, and cultural education
  • The motivation to contribute your own skills, ideas, and questions
  • Commitment to teamwork and engagement
  • Enjoyment and ideally some experience in working with young people
  • An extended police clearance certificate: If you don’t already have one, we will provide you
    with a document for fee exemption, which you can use to apply for one

 

→ What can you expect?

  • Practical insights into the field of critical technology and art education
  • Close collaboration with media artists and other experts from practice and theory, culture
    and technology, youth work, and education
  • An opportunity to volunteer and gain positive experiences in working with young people
  • An excellent atmosphere and the participants’ smiling faces
  • A compensation of 500 euros as tax-free “Übungsleitungshonorar” and possibly additional honorarium for exhibition assistance

The first hackathon for young coders (12-18y) in Frankfurt (Main) will take place during NODE17. As the motto of Jugend hackt is “Improving the World with Code” it totally fits the program of this year’s NODE under the headline of ‘Designing Hope’.

 

 

To turn Jugend hackt Frankfurt (Main) into a success story, we need YOUR support as mentor!

 

During Jugend hackt, the participants will be accompanied and supported by tech-savvy and open-minded mentors. These help out in the realization of projects, troubleshooting and technical questions of any kind.

Jugend hackt Frankfurt am Main will take place during the weekend from June 30th – July 2nd. If you are enthusiastic about technology and volunteering for a good cause and free to support us in this adventure, please sign up as mentor here: https://jugendhackt.org/mentorin-werden/.

 

 

What you should bring to the table:

Anyone above the age of 19  who is open for or experienced in the exchange with a younger audience in the age span between 12 and 18 can be a mentor. Additionally, you should be able to speak a certain level of German as most of the participants will be from the local communities and their English might not yet be fluent.

 

Tech/Coding Skills

The aim of Jugend hackt is to create a setting for peer-learning of various aspects of technology. The team of mentors should function as an inspiring and diverse pool of knowledge and bring a variety of skills related to technologies to the table. Therefore, we’re looking for a diverse and colorful mix of people with different specializations.

 

What you get in return?

For your volunteering support, you will receive:

We are looking forward to working with you!!
