Objectives

The main idea of this youth exchange is the inclusion of young people in active social activities through gamification. The modern educational system should be based on non-formal education methods and special approaches to people with special needs. That is why the theme of inclusive games seems very important to us. Games help young people gain experience and new skills that can be useful to them in real and everyday life. Combining the themes of gaming technologies and inclusion, we are focused on creating new tools to work with youth groups, in which both people with and without special needs are represented. The goal of our project is to create a favourable youth environment for the exchange of best practices and tools for working with inclusive youth groups (a ​group of people with and without disabilities). The objectives of the project are: 1. Raising awareness among participants about the various forms of working with inclusive groups; 2. Showing how young people with disabilities and without disabilities can create something and work together; 3. Raising awareness of participants about opportunities for multi-level learning, social design and knowledge sharing; 4. Exchange of successful gaming practices in working with inclusive projects for young people in the field of non-formal education, active participation and social inclusion; 5. Development by participants of their own author's methods of work with inclusive youth groups; 6. Intercultural interaction. The topic of inclusive youth work is very important for all countries participating in this project.
