Abstract: Computers have been making it to classrooms for over four decades, deeply affecting education. The rapid diffusion of the Internet, computers, and telecommunications; new approaches to learning were created including online course delivery. ICT provides a realistic, visually compelling, and motivating interactive environment for developing the skills and knowledge needed in today’s multicultural environment, another characteristic of the society we live in. Given the above, the current study aims to develop teenagers’ cultural competency, social and leadership skills, and multicultural awareness through virtual-based activities in a non-formal educational setting, aiming in instilling a new learning culture. MYTecC (Mediterranean Youth Technology Club, introduced below) aims to embrace all the above under its multicultural internet-based, virtual umbrella.
