Activities

It was very interesting experience for organizers and participants as well. We had activities starting in normal way, and during the exchange we had to adopt all the activities online, because of the lockdown in Latvia. So first days we were able to lead activities as whole group and make team spirit and after we were forced to have the activities from our rooms online via zoom.

There was a lot off activities: getting to know each other, learning, experimenting, expressing, creation and cultural expression, and use of various innovative non-formal learning methods: games, team building activities, brainstorming, open space, graphic facilitation, creative workshops, movie, cultural learning.

Through them we aimed to develop and deepen the participants’ knowledge on the subject and importance of digital skills.

Introduction & group dynamics activities: Name Games, Ice-Breakers, Group Contract

Practical workshops and open space: Debates on the topic of digital skills,make your own social media, researching the qualifications needed labor market in our countries .

Once we entered lockdown we had to adopt to lead the activities online, so we had daily calls via zoom, making shared documents by using google docs, Miro board, Canva, and many other tools

Here you can see how our first online day went, so we did had time to prepare to the online debates, we had prepared the topic, we also have chosen an online platform where we will present the debates, as well we have been exploring different online tools where we could have the activities.

The next days we went deeper in the topic of digital skills and were learning by doing

We had the workshops on how to write emails, make a creative cv, also we did a workshop about motivational letter for your job, photo making workshop, in addition we had presentation about netiquette. It was great opportunity for us to share the ideas, work in teams, and research things online, of course it was challenging for us to have all the activities online.

P.s. the location was pretty big, so we could go for a walk in yard with our roommates to make some photos and videos.

Here are tips for preparing a creative CV:

First, make sure if a creative CV is acceptable for the job you are applying for. If you are applying for an accounting job in a traditional corporation, a creative CV might not be a viable or a proper option.
Create ideas and scenarios on your design. What is your big idea? What do you want to convey? Can you design your own game or play? Do you wish to use some metaphors? How will you capture and represent your ideas visually?
Bring together the contents that you want to incorporate into your creative CV. You might want to include your experiences, success record, extra-curricular activities, technical and creative skills, awards, etc. You might also want to include a personal statement or a career objective if you wish. Think about how you can best represent these elements visually.
Showcase your design and creativity skills as you create your visual CV. Make sure that your design is easy and appealing to the eye. Think about the layout and the overall look and feel of your message. Use space strategically as needed.
Provide links to examples of your work (your web site, online portfolio, social media links, etc.) so that they can check up on your work. Showcase your talents through an online portfolio or showreel.
Check out Pinterest to see some creative CV examples and get inspiration from them!

Take-Aways

A creative CV or an infographic resume will help you stand out in a crowded job market.

Recruiters spend 5–10 seconds to look at your CV and they are looking at hundreds of CVs.

If you are applying for a creative company or role, one of the best shots you have is to create and submit a creative CV. You can create something outstanding, memorable, and unique.

As we couldn't make an flash-mob in the city, we have created the Instagram reels

Some of the reels also contain videos we made during the cultural nights, as there is no youth exchanges without cultural exchange :)
