Y-Cycle

• Name gamesFast, fun games so that by lunch everybody knows everybody's name.
• Team buildingChallenges you can only solve together, using the things we find at the camping.
• Rules & expectationsWhat you need, what you fear, what you bring. Together we agree how we will live and work this week.
• Youthpass & teamsA short introduction to Youthpass, the certificate of what you learn. We form the four mixed teams of the week and walk through the whole programme together.

Morning

• Human or machine?Ten images, texts and song clips. Half are made by people, half by AI. You vote with your body, left for human, right for machine, and then we reveal the answer. We keep the group's score!
• Short talk: where AI is todayWhat AI can do now (text, image, voice, video, code), where it fails, and the one skill of the whole week: describing exactly what you want.
• The robot that knows nothingIn groups of three: one of you sees a picture and describes it, one draws it without seeing it, and one types the exact same words into Claude, which draws it too. Three rounds, so everybody tries every role. Then we compare all the drawings with the original picture: who described it best, and what was missing?
• The prompt recipeThe theory of the day: a good prompt has six parts (Role, Goal, Context, Format, Example, Limits). You get them as six coloured cards that you will use all week.
• Improve the descriptionBack to your AI drawings. Rewrite the description with the six cards, up to three times, until the AI gets as close as possible to the original picture. Score each round and see which card made the biggest difference. The best prompts go into your team's cookbook.

Afternoon

• The literal robotSix teams, six tasks with camping objects: a frappé, a knot, a towel, a life jacket, a table, a backpack. Each team writes instructions for its task. Then the facilitator becomes a robot that does exactly what you wrote, and freezes at every unclear word. The other teams note which instruction broke the robot.
• Discussion of the notesFor each of the six tasks, the observers read their notes and propose better instructions. We connect every suggestion to one of the six prompt cards, so the morning's theory is confirmed by the afternoon's practice.
• Daily reflectionA circle with one word each, a short talk about what you keep, and three questions in your digital Youthpass diary: what did the AI understand differently from me, my prompt of the day, one question I still have.

Morning

• Introduction to creativityWhat creativity is (something new and useful), how it is born (combining, limits, quantity before quality, trying again), and what changes with AI: the barrier is no longer the technical skill but the idea and the choice. We start with a test: how many uses can you find for a pebble in three minutes, first alone, then with AI?
• Music I: SunoSix teams. Write your lyrics with a chatbot (theme, verses and chorus, one language or a mix), give them to Suno with a style, listen to two versions and choose one. Your song becomes the jingle of the podcast that follows.
• Y-Cycle Radio: ElevenLabsWe show you ElevenLabs: voices, voice design, dubbing, and cloning your own voice with your permission. Each team plans and records a 5–10 minute podcast episode on a topic it cares about: your own voices from your phones, AI for the intro, the narrator, translations and effects, put together in a simple editor. One episode per team.

Afternoon

• Keyrings & NFC: how it worksWhat we will make: a personal keyring printed on our 3D printer, with an NFC tag hidden inside. What NFC is, how your phone reads it, what fits inside a tag (a link or a short text), and a demo with a ready keyring. Printing takes hours. The keyrings are handed out on Monday or Tuesday.
• Meshy: my objectChoose the object you want as your keyring and describe it to Meshy using the six prompt cards. Try until you get the shape you like, then send your final prompt to the facilitator for printing. Tip: let the shape hint at what the keyring will hide.
• The tag's content: creating & writingMake the thing your keyring will open (a message, a poem, a voice note, your song or your episode) and write it into your tag with the NFC Tools app. Test it on two phones. Meanwhile the facilitators prepare the print files and start the first plate.
• Listening session: Radio episodes + songsAll together at the camping we listen to the day's episodes and songs, with one minute of comment per team: what did the human do, what did the AI do. We vote for the Y-Cycle anthem. The printer works next to us.
• Daily reflectionOne word each and three questions in your Youthpass diary: what did I make today that I could not make yesterday · where did I decide and where did the AI · which tool will I use again.

• Free dayRest, sea, sun. The 3D printer keeps working.

Morning

• Play & deconstruct18 cards with well-known games on the table: eight played with cards or paper, ten on the phone. In pairs or threes, pick one and open it up with six questions: what does the game remember (state), how does the player act (input), what changes when you act (rule), what do you see after (feedback), when do you win or lose (end), and how many players at what pace. A few pairs present in two minutes. This is the vocabulary of the day.
• How does something go onlineA very simple explanation with one picture: the server is a referee with a notebook. Your two phones never talk to each other. They only talk to the referee, and the Wi-Fi is just the road to it. That is why an online game has a small delay: the phone asks “anything new?” every second. And that is why a single-player game needs none of this.
• Demo: how I built Simos Parking BattleThe whole story of the example game: the prompts step by step, the graphics, the board on the real map of our camping, the accounts and the leaderboard, and the “How it was built” screen inside the game itself. Behind something impressive there are clear instructions in plain language, not magic.
• Build Sprint IYour four teams each take a classic game and make your own version. First a paper prototype with cards and pebbles, so the rules are fixed before you spend ten prompts. Then the skeleton prompt, a test on two phones, then your own content. Rule: one change per prompt, bugs on the kraft paper.

Afternoon

• Build Sprint IIGraphics and colours, a title screen, instructions inside the game, difficulty balance, fixes for what you found in the morning. Ends with publishing: a public link and a QR code for the evening.
• Playtest Swap & TournamentTeams rotate and play each other's games, ten minutes per round, leaving a feedback card: what I liked, what I did not understand, one bug, one idea. The creators watch without explaining. If it needs explaining, that is a note for a fix. Then quick fixes and a tournament where everybody plays everything, with scores on the kraft paper.
• AwardsThree categories: the most fun game, the best personal touch on a classic, and the best story behind the prompting (the team that tells best how it went from idea to result).
• Daily reflectionOne word each and three questions in your Youthpass diary: what did I learn about how a game is built, where did the AI make it hard, what would I build again on my own.

Morning

• “Works, but…”: presentation on the TVThe wooden house: one job, four tools, “three of them work, only one is right”. The four kinds of tool (right, works-but, too much, wrong job), how the situation changes the answer, and the bridge to AI.
• AI tools and what job each one does30 actions: “I want to do this → this is the tool → not for that”. NotebookLM to learn from your own files, Perplexity and Deep Research for research, Claude for Chrome for jobs in the browser, Skills for tasks you repeat, and the rest, team by team.
• The 5 families & profession cardsExtract, sort, write, research, schedule. Teams take one or two of 15 professions, put every step into a family, and really automate two of the steps, with made-up data.

Afternoon

• My own processWrite down a process from your own life (school, work, a hobby), put every step into a family, automate one, and measure the time you save.
• Design a digital businessA Business Model Canvas per team, with at least three automations from the morning and real customers, who will go into tomorrow's CRM. The last 15 minutes: the social turn. Make the same idea solve a problem, not only make money.
• Organisations' Bazaar: Dragons' Den styleEach partner organisation presents its work and its opportunities, Dragons' Den style.

Morning

• My secretaryFill in five cards: “If I had a secretary, I would ask them to…”. The cards go on the wall and group themselves: remember my notes, warn me about tomorrow, keep my contacts, tell me what I have today, find something I wrote a week ago. Vote with stickers. This sorted list is what the platform must do, and the first time each of you adds your own needs.
• Human AppPlay the platform with your bodies: four of you are the database and hold cards, one is the server, the rest are screens that ask “write a note”, “what do I have tomorrow?”, “show my contacts”. The server asks for a password before it serves anybody. When Maria asks for “my notes”, the database gives only hers: that is private. When she asks for “the directory”, it gives everybody: that is shared.
• Design togetherFrom the morning list come the “rooms” of the platform: Notes, Tasks & reminders, Contacts, Today (the secretary screen: what I have today and tomorrow), and Directory (shared). Each team takes one room and draws its screen on paper: what I see, what I press, which fields. This paper is your spec for Claude Code.
• Feature sprints IThe foundations are ready: sign-up, login, an empty database. You build everything you can see. Each team works on its own copy, with Claude Code on the laptops, from its paper. Rules as on Monday: one change per prompt, test with made-up data, roles inside the team.

Afternoon

• Feature sprints IIAssembly. One person from each team joins the tech runner to merge the five rooms into one platform and put it online. The others write the one-page “how to use it” guide in four languages and prepare what they will put inside.
• Sign up to the live CRMThe moment of the day. Open the link on your phone, sign up with your own email and password, and add real things: three notes from the week, your tasks for tomorrow, five contacts from the exchange, your profile in the directory. The needs you wrote on cards this morning become data inside something you built yourselves.
• App FairEach team shows its room in five minutes. Then everybody asks the secretary: “what do I have tomorrow?”, and the Today screen answers. Feedback cards, a vote for the most useful room, a wish list of what to add. And a promise: the platform stays alive after the exchange, as the shared tool of Y-Cycle.
• ReflectionWhat I asked my secretary for in the morning and got in the evening · which part I understood by playing Human App · what I would add to the platform tomorrow.

Morning

• The lineA rope on the sand, from “I completely agree” to “I completely disagree”. A sentence is read, you stand where you feel, and two or three people from each end explain. There is no right answer. Sentences like: “It's OK to write my mother's birthday message with AI” · “It's OK to post a friend's photo I changed with AI, if it's funny” · “AI will take my job” · “If the AI writes the essay, it's not mine” · “It's OK to have an AI as your best friend” · “I don't care what they do with my data”.
• The scamEach team gets an envelope with six scenarios: a voice message “mum, I lost my phone, send 300 €”, a perfect email from the “Erasmus+ National Agency” asking you to verify your account, an ad “2,000 € a week from home, send your ID”, a video of a famous person promoting a crypto coin, a villa on Elafonisos at 40% of the price by bank transfer, and one that is real. You decide: real or scam, and what gave it away. From your findings we build the wall of warning signs: hurry, money, secrecy, “click here”, too good to be true, a new number, they ask for passwords or ID. The new defence is behaviour: stop, check through another channel, and agree a code word with your family. Then we show live how easy it is to clone a voice.
• My tracesFirst, “what does a photo say”: we upload a photo taken on the island and ask the AI where and when it was taken. It often finds out. What do your own photos reveal? Then 35 minutes on your own phone, privately: which apps can use your location, microphone and camera; where the AI tools you use let you switch off training on your data; a check of your email on haveibeenpwned.com; two-step verification on one account. You leave having made three real changes, not having heard about them.

Afternoon

• Intercultural afternoonAll together we cook dishes from our countries and have a barbecue day.

Morning

• The AI interviews meThree rules for how to present yourself well, an interview with a ready-made prompt, and at the end your decisions: design, format, photo, and what to put first.
• Europass CVPaste from your interview brief into the Europass platform. Your experience lines are already in the right form. Add Y-Cycle and Youthpass. Export as PDF, which goes on your page as a “download my CV” button. Rule: the AI polishes, it does not invent.
• Build my page IThree people per laptop, about 25 minutes each for a first version. While you wait: prepare your photo, collect the links to what you made this week, and be the tester for the person next to you.

Afternoon

• Build my page IISecond round: one fix per prompt, check at phone size, the links, the CV button. Before handing it in, check it against Thursday's rules: no phone number, no home address, no photos of others without their permission. The folder goes to the tech runner for upload.
• Sunset portraits & NFC cardWrite your page's address into your NFC card with NFC Tools, test it, and then decorate the card. A portrait in the best light of the day can replace your morning photo.
• ReflectionA circle and your Youthpass diary: what I learned about how I present myself · which proof from this week counts most · what I would write differently in a year.

• Booklet editorsWe gather the week's work (games, the app, the websites, the creations) into the Y-Cycle digital guide.
• Youthpass Altitude GaugeThe week's journey as a flight: every “flight level” is a stage of learning, mapped all together.
• Final evaluationA questionnaire, the hot seat, movement in the space, a mental journey through the week.
• Certificates & goodbyeYouthpass and certificates, dedications, and the group photo.

• DepartureBreakfast, exchange of contacts, transfer to the ferry.
