2023 JOTA-JOTI THROUGH MY EYES
JAMBOREE ON THE AIR (JOTA) AND JAMBOREE ON THE INTERNET (JOTI) 2023
Held ONLINE from 20 October 2023 to 22 October 2023
JOTA-JOTI, the world's largest annual digital event for Scouts and Guides, held every October which helps millions of young people connecting globally through online activities and promoting global citizenship.
This year on October 05,2023 I register myself for the JOTA-JOTI for the first time. Because of my first time in JOTA-JOTI I was very excited and bit nervous cause I have no clue, how things work here but as the time approaches my nervousness were gone and I got super exited. A day before JOTA-JOTI I took a short course on how to keep ourselves safe online and got a certificate for that which was presented by JOTA-JOTI.
On October 20,2023 I got ready for the JOTA-JOT where I found camp-site with bunch of different booth with activities. And there are Challenges in 7 different categories like
(1) Health and Well Being
(2) Life Skill
(3) Environment and sustainability
(4) Scouts for SDG’s
(5) Super Challenge
(6) Peace and Community and last
(7) International Friendship and in each categories we have to complete minimum 05 activities to unlock the badge of that category and which we have to do during the course of JOTA-JOTI.
After Understanding Everything in JOTA-JOTI Activities which were easy and fun to do. 03 days During the course of JOTA-JOTI I have met many scouts and guide across the world virtually & made lots of friend over there and learnt many new things like making Tortoise through Origami, Making Seed Bombs using Japanese technique, Making Eco Bricks at Home and Making beads from scratch etc and in the end of every activity debriefing question gives me better understanding of the activity.
During the course I have completed all my Challenges which was very fun loving and trilling to do each activity which nourished, enhance my knowledge regarding Scouting, Health, Environment, Life skill & sustainability and even I made of some new friend over there.
At Last the 3 days activity of JOTA-JOTI was enjoyable and interactive. This was very informative and enhanced my in-depth knowledge. Each and every activity of the JOTA-JOTI really inspired and encouraged me . JOTA-JOTI features diversed non-formal educational programs like webinars, campfires, talent shows, and live performances.
This is my first ever JOTA-JOTI which I loved it and looking forward for next year JOTA-JOTI .
