Summary

Click to Create is a youth exchange where creativity meets technology. Over the youth exchange young people from different countries will transform their smartphones, cameras, and laptops into powerful tools for storytelling, activism, and cultural exchange.

Through interactive workshops on photography, video creation, graphic design, and multimedia editing, participants will master practical digital skills while experimenting with creative formats—from social media campaigns to short films and digital art exhibits. They’ll learn how to craft messages that resonate, use online platforms strategically, and bring their ideas to life in ways that connect with a global audience.

This exchange is all about creating in the digital age: collaborating in virtual spaces, sharing work instantly, and exploring how technology can amplify voices and inspire change. Participants will leave not just with stronger technical skills, but with the confidence to use digital tools as a force for creativity, identity, and social impact.

If you’re ready to code your ideas into reality, capture stories through your lens, or design visuals that move people, Click to Create is your creative playground.
