Welcome to Inventors4Change
Inventors4Change brings together the projects that the UdiGitalEdu group of the University of Girona has been developing in India since 2013. The common objectives of the different initiatives are: (1) to explore new ways of learning and teaching with the help of Creative Computing and Maker Education; (2) to train teachers in schools for underprivileged children in the Bangalore area; (3) to connect these schools with schools in other countries to encourage children to co-create.
Last Saturday our team went to Tortosa to attend the
Federico Mayor Zaragoza awards ceremony, organized by
UNESCO Tortosa. We are very happy and we feel very honored because we were awarded with the
Federico Mayor Zaragoza - Education 1st Prize for our project.
This award is an important recognition for our work and it keeps us motivated to continue working to promote Connected Learning and Global Citizenship Education among children to help them become changemakers.
Obviously it is
not an award just for the project team, but for all the schools, children and
teachers who have participated in these 4 years.
Federico Mayor Zaragoza is a Spanish scientist, scholar, politician, diplomat, and poet. He served as Director-General of UNESCO from 1987 to 1999. He is currently the Chairman of the
Foundation for a Culture of Peace.
