Another highlight from the PIC NIC Young Festival was the presentation of Paulo Hartmann, of the MobileFest – International Festival of Mobile Art and Creativity.
This is a festival that develops intercultural dialogue through cross country and over-seas activities using mobile technology.
An example? The Global Gincana. Kids in Brazil design an educational game (like treasure hunting) for dutch teenagers to play - and vice-versa. Using GPS and mobile phones, they play at the same time (there was a video conference too), interchanging cultural information and having fun.
The MobileFest is based in São Paulo, Brazil, but they work with organizations and festivals all over the world. They also develop lectures, presentations, collaborative projects, debates, workshops, labs, seminars and all sorts of activities to engage youngsters in subjects such as environmental and social issues, education, health, Human Rights, globalization, art, democracy, among others.
AMAZING.
