Objectives

READY, STEADY, GO! TIME TO PLAY is a Youth Exchange within the frame of Erasmus + related to cooperation, social skills and conflict resolutions through games. This project wants to promote the values of “Fair Play”, cooperation, trust and healthy habits, in a close, experiential, motivational and personal way. During 9 days young people from 5 European countries will work together to develop different social skills through cooperative learning. Usually, competitions throws games hide all the benefits that it has, like communication skills, cooperative work… That is why we want to practice tools that increase our critical awareness in this regard and promote positive values that do so. Use the games as an ally and not as an enemy. All along the project we will use different table and traditional games outdoor and indoor, activities with the population planned by the participants. We also will talk about how to prevent addictive behaviours and develop the critical thinking about games. Through these activities we will give a healthy approach about the topic and we will learn the evolution of games and how important games were, are and they will be. During cooperative learning, you can experience and recognise how good to be a member of a diverse group, taking responsibility for each others, supporting each others, enjoying a group work, developing communication skills, to be committed, creative, motivated, etc. These skills are necessary nowadays to enter to the labour market and even to be happy and successful in our work and family lives. Indirectly we will work on other skills such as English technical communication in different games languages, the sense of initiative, the entrepreneurship, the civic skills, the creativity and many additional social skills. It´s also worth of mention the dynamization activities in the rural neighbourhoods led by the participants, in English or in their native languages. Among the expected results of the project we want to announce different ways and all its benefits, creating a small kit in different games with publicity and assessments that put into value the team qualities in terms of collaboration, because we really believe in the power of people to transform themselves and the world around them while they grow personally and professionally. Objectives: - To encourage the reflection and to stimulate the critical thinking about the most popular games. - To understand the meaning of Cooperative Learning - To share different ways of motivation of young people with fewer opportunities - To learn all the necessary tools for developing training activity programs that will improve the personal and the social skills of the participants. - To raise the awareness of healthy habits on games among young people in rural areas while broadening their knowledge of other games offer. The objectives of our project are in accordance with the objectives of Erasmus + and the Key Action 1(KA1). They intend to contribute to the improvement of the skills and competences of young people, to include those with less opportunities and special needs, to fully believe in the creativity of young people and their talent to change the world, to promote the impact of this project far beyond the participants´ profiles and to influence the rest of the society. All this while offering support in the exchange of good practice and friendly relationship between the organizations involved in this project.
