The project aimed to build capacities of professionals in cultural institutions by equipping them with skills in creative game design to attract diverse audiences and involve them in co-creating museum programs. Through non-formal education and practical training, we wanted to provide museum professionals with the tools needed to develop engaging, interactive exhibitions and programs. A key goal was to establish a framework that promotes active audience involvement in program design, fostering more inclusive and interactive museum spaces. Additionally, the project intended to introduce micro-credentials using digital badges ini attempt to recognize newly gained competencies of project learners. In order to ensure long-term impact, the project focused on up-scaling and disseminating its results, making its methodology accessible to a wider network of cultural institutions. It aimed to transform the museum offer into a dynamic learning environment where cultural heritage, art and history become more engaging, relevant, and accessible to different target groups.

Kick-off Meeting of Partners – Held in Budapest, it focused on technical planning, team building, and defining the training course, roles, risks, and dissemination strategy. Training Course for Museum Workers – A hybrid course trained 12 museum professionals from Serbia and Hungary in creative game design through a 4-week online phase and a residential session in Novi Sad. Local Gamification Activities – Participants developed gamified museum experiences in their institutions, engaging young adults with mentor support and evaluating the outcomes. Dissemination Activities – The project was promoted via social media, Cities of Learning, and media channels in Serbia and Hungary, reaching wider audiences. Manual on Gamification in Museums – A digital manual based on the training curriculum was produced and shared through websites, social media, and events. Monitoring and Evaluation – This activity tracked project progress and impact using participant feedback and outcome analysis to guide future improvements.
