Courses in NRW
Kids and Youth Program Duisburg
Main Sponsor:
The promotion of digital skills in socially disadvantaged regions is an indispensable issue for our society. Based on this concern, the ReDI School's children and youth program was created. The program in Duisburg promotes the digital skills of students in schools with a high percentage of migrants.
Through playful approaches and innovative teaching methods, we arouse their curiosity for technology and strengthen their empathy and cooperation. This includes basic knowledge such as cybersecurity and ten-finger typing and more complex topics such as coding and programming.
In addition to the ReDI courses that are conducted by our teachers during regular school hours, courses are held as workshops with external partners with a focus on project-based learning.
Location: 5 schools in Duisburg - Marxloh
Age group: 6-16 years
