This project was a follow-up to 'Be a pioneer, hack your life for a better future' youth exchange that took place 2-10 April 2019. The original idea was inspired by one of our volunteers realizing that his generation is missing out a lot of useful basic shortcuts related to common living. This follow up activity aimed to create the environment for participants to share, experience, teach to each other and learn useful tips and tricks related to everyday life. All this with the purpose of them being able to make the analogy between life hacks and real life problem solving approach. During the week of activities, the participants presented existing life hacks, discussed the topic and brought fresh ideas into the subject, had the chance to try out things in practice and reflect on their experiences. The workshops covered several main domains relevant for the youth such as problem solving approach, project management (planning the dream journey), urban orientation, exploring the most convenient way to learn, experience teaching to others and understand the process of learning better. The participants also experienced risk assessment and create their own life hack. What is a life hack? A life hack is a strategy or technique adopted in order to manage one's time and daily activities in a more efficient way. Why are life hacks important? The human brain is used to simplify processes in order to use time and energy in the most efficient manner. On the outside, life hacks seem to be just ordinary simple tips and tricks related to a certain domain, but their real importance is the problem solving approach hidden in the background. This project aims to inspire young people to think in a creative manner, not to be afraid to make mistakes and always search for possibilities to improve and upgrade through life. The activities will encourage participants to apply the life long learning approach and become active citizens that will pull our society forward. What was the core of this project? This project aimed to provide participants with an elevated mindset through participatory workshops where they would improve their basic competences such as mathematics and basic of physics (cooking, planning their budget trip), risk assessment (searching for alternatives) and learning to learn (exploring life hacks related to studying and reflecting on the methods of learning used). The workshops and activities had two layers from which one was to improve the key competences of participants, and the other was to reflect after each workshop and find the analogy of the simple hacks learnt and how to apply them in more complex life scenarios.
