YnterACT (YouNgsters Together for European Research of Active eduCational Tools)
Nowadays it is said that a normal human being is involved in as many interpersonal communication situations in one
week as our ancestors four centuries ago in their whole life. In 2005 we have TV, radio, phone, Fax, Internet! They
make communication a lot faster, but not necessary more manageable! On the contrary, the truth is that the speed
overwhelms many of us!
YnterACT aims to give communication and education a more personal touch! And in the process to promote the use of
new pedagogical methods!
What for? Because there is a big gap between the desired social skills and the existing ones. The usual forms of
education are not enough anymore for the proper development of the soft skills. New forms should be experienced in
order to build a bridge over this gap.
How? We do not need to reinvent the wheel. There are already so many tools on the market. The best, cheapest and
most effective solution is to identify those that we need and to adapt them to our needs as individuals and as members
of a institution. Educational tools like formal debate, role simulation, lateral thinking, creativity games are the right
instruments. They are effective because they are fun and one can learn in the same time. YnterACT aims to create a
network of Creative Communication Clubs where young adults would have the chance to meet and practice the abovementioned
educational tools.
