This paper presents the findings of an
impact evaluation designed to study an educational
initiative called Evoke: Youth as Agents of Change in the
Colombian Peace Process. Evoke is a project-based learning
model that uses storytelling, game mechanics, and global
social networks, to imbue young people with the skills they
need to develop social innovations that address grand
challenges (e.g., refugees, poverty, climate change) in
their communities. Creating novel solutions to these complex
and intractable problems requires curiosity, creativity,
collaboration, aggregative thinking, empathy, plus a host of
other 21st century and socioemotional skills. The
development of each skill individually is important but
these skills are deeply intertwined and even more relevant
when combined in a project-based framework. These
transferable skills enable young people to see, listen,
question, imagine, think, care, act, and reflect, in a
fundamentally different and potentially transformative way. |
