Digital Labs: extracurricular education

Sector: Education
Type: Digital Labs
Location: Online with an offline event in Kyiv
Deadline: 12 January 2026 at 15:00 Kyiv time
Organiser: House of Europe

School education makes us broadly knowledgeable. Extracurricular education makes us who we are.

This Digital Lab is for people who shape personalities in hobby groups, extracurricular education institutions, and youth centres. Over eight days, you will diversify your activities by introducing various practices — from museum pedagogy to dance and theatre. You will learn how to delegate routine tasks to AI, find verified information, and make your meetings accessible to everyone without exception.

You will be inspired by the best EU practices and success cases from Ukraine, so that you can decide what to add to your routine. As a result, you will develop a project to enhance the effectiveness of your sessions further.

When: 2-13 March, 9.00-17.30

Where: online with a one-day offline pitching in Kyiv

Language: Ukrainian and English with translation into Ukrainian

  • The Digital Lab will take place during work hours. If needed, an official invitation for your employer can be provided.
  • The Digital Lab is all about you and your professional development. You cannot apply as a team.
