Project duration: 01.01.2024 - 30.09.2027
The joint project "STARK-MIT-DIBI" aims to sustainably improve the educational opportunities of girls with a migration background through digital education. The focus is on promoting digital skills, strengthening self-efficacy and expanding prospects for training, studies and the job market.
Research and practice work closely together to systematically investigate the effectiveness of digital education programs and their conditions for success and to further develop them in a practical manner.
The central learning location is the TUMO Center for Creative Technologies, an innovative digital learning center in Mannheim. Every week, up to 1,000 young people aged 12 to 18 can acquire skills in areas such as programming, graphic design and 3D modeling in individual learning paths under the guidance of coaches.
The knowledge gained is to be transferred to other regions and contexts. The aim is to create a learning opportunity that contributes to promoting equal opportunities in education throughout Germany.
