The walkshop consists in a shared active exploration around streets and squares near the festival venue (looking for signs, hardware, graffitis, marks, images, special spots in general) in order to work on a digital "gymkhana" as a learning activity for youth. Afterwards there could be a short session for geolocating online what has been found.
The walkshop consists in a shared active exploration around streets and squares near the festival venue (looking for signs, hardware, graffitis, marks, images, special spots in general) in order to prepare a digital "gymkhana" as a learning activity for youth/tourists/geeks. Afterwards there would be a short session for geolocating online and printing what has been found.


What we want to do is a kind of meta-activity oriented to apply a method to different learning subjects (history, society, culture, architecture, art, etc) while the learners walk around a urban context. For this purpose we will establish a circuit with marks (QR codes) that once processed send questions and ask for reflexive inputs. These inputs (images, text, sounds, videos) would be sent by mobile devices and published on the go on a blog (and could de afterwards geolocated).
What we want to do is a kind of meta-activity oriented to apply a method to different learning subjects (history, society, culture, architecture, art, etc) while the learners walk around a urban context. For this purpose we will establish a random circuit with marks (QR codes) that once processed show images/videos/texts that may take to a next spot. These inputs (images, text, sounds, videos) could be sent by mobile devices and published on the go on a blog (and could be afterwards geolocated, as well as generating a QR code).
