Young peoples progression into digital creativity. Comparison of research findings from the UK and Poland

Education Centre EST from Wadowice (Poland) and Wavemaker from Stoke-on-Trent (the UK) carried out an Erasmus+ project in the field of Youth aimed at building a makerspace for young people – MakeApp Club1 – in order to foster their digital creativity in a social learning environment. The project was inspired by the research conducted in the UK by Julian Sefton-Green and Lucy Brown for Nominet Trust with the findings presented in the report Mapping Learner Progression into Digital Creativity2. They have investigated the issue how young people learn and develop as digital makers with a view to fostering more effective support.
