The Village Scribe Association is a non-profit association to promote IT skills for underprivileged students. In the “Joza Youth Hub” community centre, two freely accessible computer rooms offer various workshops, homework supervision and free time at the computers. The aim is to convey the joy of learning, to strengthen media competence and the social development of the people involved in the project.

A computer room (“Open Lab”) is available for the community to use freely throughout the project and is used primarily by younger children to play learning games or by adults to find jobs and write applications. The second computer room (“Learning Lab”) is reserved for grammar school pupils who work on their homework there and once a day lessons are held there with a fixed learning group (“core group”). The volunteers’ task is to conduct weekly workshops in the computer rooms with these groups of grammar school pupils. In these workshops, school-relevant topics are repeated and taken up in a playful way with the help of computers, the Internet and the like. In addition, the volunteers can also start their own projects in the community centre, depending on their own interests. Values such as social responsibility, cultural interest and respect for other cultures are to be conveyed. The development of personality and personal commitment to the community are also a focus.
