About Imagine Y
The “Imagine Y(our) - SPACE for Learning, Engagement, and Business” project aims to foster both physical and online engagement to strengthen the self-organization and confidence of Belarusian youth and young adults in Belarus and abroad.

A core component of the online educational activities is the Online Camps, led by young leaders who have been trained to develop their own camps and digital communities. These camps provide outreach to a broader youth audience, connecting participants from diverse regions, including remote areas. The camps cover a wide range of topics, from social and ecological sustainability, equality, and diversity to practical subjects like digitalization and language skills.

To date, 5 Online Camps have been successfully implemented, providing a space for youth to practice self-organization and leadership while exploring topics relevant to modern society. Over the next three months, the second wave of 5 additional camps will be launched, further expanding the program’s reach and impact.

This tender is designed to hire a graphic recorder for the visual documentation of the project's educational activities and the process of organizing camps.

1. Description:
  • The purpose of this tender is to create 10 graphic recordings reflecting camp themes, key moments, outcomes, and anonymized information about camp leaders and their personal achievements. Additionally, 1 graphic recording will document the process of organizing camps, serving as a guide for those planning future camps. Each graphic recording should be available in Russian/Belarusian; possibly also in English.
  • The recordings should be based on qualitative interviews with camp leaders, participant feedback, camp recordings, live participation in ongoing camps, chat histories, and other sources provided by Goethe-Institut.
  • The recordings must visually demonstrate a connection to the Imagine Y project while maintaining the uniqueness of each camp. These recordings will serve as a tool for safely presenting the camps in public forums and as part of the camp leaders’ professional portfolios.

  • Reflect the key moments of each camp in a structured graphic format.
  • An anonymized profile of the camp leader, including their goals and personal achievements in the framework of program.

  • Demonstrate a connection with the Imagine Y project.
  • Ensure data safety.

3. Scope and Format:

  • Ideas and projects: a section displaying the ideas and projects that emerged during the camp.
  • Results and achievements: quantitative and qualitative indicators (number of participants, projects, changes).
