Befriend with the machines

Content

21st century skills are a broad set of knowledge, skills, work habits and character qualities to ensure well-being, participation and employment that are needed in our nowadays rapidly changing society. Befriend with the machines is one of the skills zones that are part of the 21st century skills. Befriend the machine skills need to be continuously increased, improved and changed due to the fast technology developments.
﻿
Peer-interviews with young people showed that not everybody is aware of their technical and digital skills, knowledge and attitude that they are using daily, neither are young people always aware that there are a lot opportunities that can help to develop Befriend the machine skills. Technical innovation development is fast, imaganing what 2030 will look like, will help in knowing what skills you need to devlop. Many young people can learn from friends, from games, from sports, from employers and so on.
﻿
In this learning playlist you will find 2 businesses (Warp VR and Hoffmann) that share their work and expertice concering the Befriend with the Machine skills zone. Also they have 2 challenges for you to respond at. This will make your Befriend with the Machine skills awareness grow.
 
Another highlight of this learning playlist is the opportunity to take part in the Mozilla Festival workshop and designing an learning activity for young people. We invite you in this activity to think about something technical or digital that has your interest and then think how you can share your knowledge, skill or attitude with young people so the awareness of the Befriend the machine skills zone will grow. 
﻿
The future ready activity will let you think about the future, what will it look like? This will give you an idea what to prepare for so you already you can start learning not only for what you need to have for skills today, but more over, which skills you would need to have tomorrow, so you know how to create your learning path.
﻿
The Befriend with the machines learning playlist is part of the projects Digital Generation Youth and Cities of learning, youth co-design learning, civic and career pathways where the skill zone Befriend the machine is one of topics that will be spoken about among young people.

What does the world in 2030 look like? Machines are getting smarter. Some of them will work for you, sometimes you’ll work for them - or even with them. More and more, you’ll work side by side to get things done. Which skills do young people need to master to create human-machine collaboration? 
﻿
Take part in the workshop Befriend with the machines during Mozfest and imagine the future during chats with other interested people, which skills will be necessary to be ready for the future? Connected with this online gathering you can find collaboration partners to design and share original art, music, games, and stories that will support young people to imagine the future. Your art, music, game or story will be published at the Cities of Learning Platform so other young people can use your resources. Learn and at the same time raise young people’s awareness about human-machine collaboration. 
﻿
Who will you find at this workshop? Everyone interested is welcome! But mainly you can gather with artists, activists, technologists, advocates, students, and journalists with a single mission: a better, healthier internet. We are specially focussing at young people and innovative tech businesses who want to learn from each other. But as said... everyone interested is welcome.
