▶Objectives
The main objectives of this project was promoting inclusion and diversity in adult education, improving the competences of educators and other adult education staff and to give concrete advise on how to use games in adult education about European values such as inclusion, diversity, participation and engagement. That includes methods of addressing the target group, shaping learning environments through games, exploring the strengths and limitations of the use of games in adult education, best-practice examples, information/instructions about special games, information about what games can be used for as well as concrete methods to implement games in educational activities and working environments. The main focus of using games is knowledge transfer. This includes theoretical knowledge on a certain topic, e.g. European values, but also soft skills that can be taught and validated very well through them. Next to this the creation of learning environments is also an important topic for us.
