GoTeach Activities/Digital Activities

Online / Virtual Engagement

Virtual engagement activities are gaining importance, and are considered a useful complement to face-to-face activities.

The world is becoming increasingly digitalized and different online tools now allow us to connect with the young people more easily. The COVID-19 pandemic in particular has shown us the added value various online tools can bring as they have made it possible to stay connected under challenging circumstances.

By connecting with young people online, we can encourage the development of important technical skills. The ability to operate different virtual communication tools will be a huge benefit for their future competitiveness on the job market.   

Different supporting documents on the topic of virutal engagement can be found here: List of Documents - Virtual Engagement.

Below, we will take a look at some of the dedicated platforms and tools used within GoTeach for the purposes of virtual engagement:
