Education is one of the most relevant and significant elements in life. Young people go through decisive stages such as childhood and adolescence, which will form their identity and shape their personality, ambitions and concerns.
This project seeks to provide participants with tools and resources with which they can design, develop and undertake both activities and programs that promote transversal education through the games.
Through participation in the exchange, the aim is to provide members with a vision of how to achieve education through playing games. In classrooms there are different learning styles and educational needs. Young people will design and learn games that have an educational element that supports curricular teaching.
Participation in the activity involves learning the different types of games and dynamics, designing new ones and implementing them, with the aim of achieving better attributes when carrying out an action / dynamic / game / activity, both recreational and educational. .
The multicultural approach of the project brings together alternative points of view, unusual and rich in cultural diversity. We are going to put into practice traditional games and cultural actions typical of each country. The globalized and multicultural Europe in which we live, needs approaches adapted to its situation, where, within the classrooms and in non-formal education, the needs and concerns that each religion, ethnicity, culture or nationality encompasses are contemplated.
