Summary of results

Project aims to promote social inclusion for 70 children and young people in Ogre County by providing classes for improvement of social and digital skills, to provide qualitative free time using LEGO robotics elements. Task group was children and young people in risk of social exclusion.

All planned results was achieved. The innovative educational after school service using LEGO robotics elements for children and young people was created. This service includes development of the methodology, curriculum and learning materials. Free access to all materials is provided in the project website roboti.aimc.lv. 95 children and young people (instead of planned 70) approbate this after school service during 3 seminars, 30 classes and 5 camps. Project partner coordinator invited task group to participate in the project activities. The invitation for task group was distributed in the project and county websites also. 95 Ogres county children and young people which have risk of social exclusion have improved quality of live and have strengthen their democratic values.
