Item Evaluating accessibility of IT summer camps for children in the Republic of Moldova(2024) Ciobanu, Mihail; Bejenaru, Iulia; Savcenco, SilviaThe rapid growth of information technologies over recent decades led to the emergence of IT-oriented summer camps for children. Initially rare, these camps have become more prevalent, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic, to equip youth with essential IT skills early on. Covering a range of fields from programming and mobile app development to robotics, cybersecurity, digital citizenship, AI, and virtual realities, these camps aim to enhance digital literacy, foster innovation, and prepare children for future IT careers. As part of the IT industry, these camps reflect its evolving challenges and opportunities, promoting a culture of collaboration and learning. In response to global IT trends, Moldova has launched initiatives to boost IT education and digital literacy, especially among girls and young people. In 2015, GirlsGoIT was founded to encourage girls towards STEM careers, and the STEP IT Academy Moldova branch was opened, offering IT education for all ages. 2016 saw the launch of IUCOSOFT LLC, focusing on Java programming courses. The Tekwill ICT Innovation Center, established in 2017, represents a significant public-private partnership, which includes Tekwill Academy Kids for IT and digital arts education for youth. The same year also saw the start of RoboCode School, focusing on robotics, and Impact Academies & Camps Organization, which promotes programming, digital literacy, and soft skills through summer camps. These efforts aim to develop the IT potential of Moldova's younger generation.

In particular, the term "cultural voucher" can be defined differently depending on the type of regulatory and issuing entity and the spectrum of its beneficiaries. It could be a state contribution that improves access to culture for primary and secondary school pupils and their pedagogues, a tool for obtaining cultural products and services within a partnership of the government with businesses for the benefit of workers who have formal employment contracts or even an online payment method in the form of a rechargeable electronic card for cultural products and services. In order to demonstrate the diversity of forms and uses of cultural vouchers were used the following research methods: legal analysis, induction, deduction, logical method and literature review. As sources of data were used mainly the national laws and studies that analyze the impact of cultural vouchers on cultural consumption, including among children and young people. The use of cultural vouchers has a positive impact both for consumers and for the industry.
