About the project:
The “innovatorslab: gen z’s game-based peace building” project is an innovative initiative designed to revolutionize peacebuilding and conflict transformation education for generation z youth by leveraging game-based learning methodologies such as escape rooms. the project seeks to bridge identified challenges and the lack of skills, competences, and methodological gaps within our consortium and among other ngos from participating countries. it addresses the challenge of engaging gen z from conflict-affected communities in peacebuilding activities by developing tools that resonate with their learning styles. the project features an e-learning platform with six modules on gen z characteristics, game-based learning principles, and innovative conflict resolution methods. it also includes the development of comprehensive guidelines on incorporating escape room methodologies into peacebuilding, tested in international youth worker mobilities, offering step-by-step setup instructions, case studies, and design templates.
About the training:
Training course designed to pilot-test the project’s newly developed peacebuilding tools, including the Empathy Cards and the Guidelines created in earlier work packages. During this 9-day mobility, 25 youth workers gather in Bakuriani to assess, validate, and provide feedback on these tools. The training functions as a real-world testing environment where participants explore how game-based methods and innovative conflict-resolution approaches work with young people from different contexts. The outcomes of this activity feed back into the refinement of the project’s educational methods, ensuring that the tools are practical, user-friendly, and effective before being finalised and disseminated.
