Call for participants for an ONLINE TRAINING COURS
Call for participants for an ONLINE TRAINING COURSE “INCLUSION THROUGH BOARD GAMES”! Dates: 7-10 May 2021. Platform ZOOM Participants: 6 Age: 18+ Description of the project: Can games stimulate debate and facilitate the search for solutions to issues of European relevance? This question is the basis of the INCLUSION THROUGH BOARD GAMES educational project. Games can be a tool that allows you to bring people with strong differences together. The board game certainly facilitates inclusion. Participants who do not know each other get to the 'virtual' table and start playing. After the game, a very strong bond of respect is often established that opens the way to understanding and friendship. These are the topics that will be covered in this Erasmus + training course INCLUSION THROUGH BOARD. During the TC the 42 young people from Ireland, Cyprus, Egypt, Italy, N.Macedonia, Turkey, and Georgia will get involved, impersonating established characters and roles, with the aim of experimenting the efficiency of cooperative approaches and dialogue at the expense of conflict. Thanks to the project, participants will acquire a new awareness of the political and social dynamics that involve the contexts of origin and their role as the main actors of change. The main objectives of the project are: • To increase awareness on how Erasmus+ programmes can support social inclusion through board games. • To explore and understand how board games can be used as tools for intercultural learning and youth empowerment. • To promote the inclusion of participants with fewer opportunities and young people at risk of social exclusion with board games • To develop further their self-control and understanding of diversity through board games and interactive learning • To enhance the visibility and power of Non-Formal Learning (NFL) through Board games For more information about the project and a link to the application form, please send us an email to info@sferainternational.org with the subject INCLUSION THROUGH BOARD GAMES.
