Local Creative Jams

Overview : events to engage - forecast an overall process, more than an innovative product

Version française : FR

The Atlantic Youth Creative Hubs project started as a premise: fostering the development of innovative start-ups among young people through (accelerated) learning of new technologies and development methods. But questions from youth professionals, and subsequently from young people themselves, call into question this approach which consists only of catalyzing and accelerating “innovation”. With the first projects and discussions, the whole philosophy of AYCH is evolving, and us with it. The Creative jams now tends to seek to “engage” young people, to find new dialogues and educational methods, rather than finding the right technology and the right method to develop. It has taught us to think in a new “sustainable” way rather than frantically searching for the technological miracle. These events allowed to develop and test a series of innovation methods and tools adapted to the AYCH objectives.
