Introducing UX/UI Design to young people in Ukraine
Care in Action e.V.
Beschrijving
This Design Marathon will introduce teenagers to UX/UI Design skills and use Figma to give practical assignments, with a possibility of mentoring or course sponsorship to enable further development for those who show the most potential and interest. Each of the two Design Marathons will take place over four days with a workshop leader and a specialized trainer, enabling a minimum of 25 and a maximum of 50 young people to participate for free.
The participants will be teenagers who were displaced by war, who live in care or foster families, or who use crisis centers for support: they will be invited to join in for free through our existing network.
The course was selected and designed to be accessible to our target group. UX/UI Design is a creative discipline that many young people can engage with and offers good career prospects. It requires no specilaised initial knowledge; everything is taught progressively from scratch.
Session 1: Bortnykyy - offline event at a home for children without parental care
Session 2: Creative Hub - hybrid event at a centre for displaced and low-income children and young peope
Steps:
1. Survey for potential participants - assess existing knowledge as a benchmark for further learning
2. Three one-hour sessions combining teaching Figma basics and supervised assignments to allow for getting acquainted with Figma features and further exploration
3. Final one and a half hour webinar to revise what was learned, and give guidance on UI/UX careers, including remuneration and learning pathways.
4. Bonus training PDFs and succinct videos sent to participants who completed the course
5. Survey to assess material learned
6. Selection of 2 - 4 outstanding participants for mentoring and possible sponsorship for a paid course in UX/UI design
Goals of the event which bring value for young people:
Accessibility – teenagers can start learning about design without prior knowledge, and just need a PC and internet to use Figma and join in
Interactive learning – practical skills and real assignments introduce new skills
Measurement – using survey results to assess skills before and after the course
Career development – links with job opportunities within Ukraine, and we can offer ongoing support for learning for those with interest and commitment
