Objectives

The target solutions for our project, "Engaging Escape Room Games for Environmental Awareness," are proposed by teachers from three countries. The project's goal was to provide access to a tool that enabled innovative access to knowledge about climate change. Thanks to the involvement of a distributed team of teachers, a domino effect was achieved, resulting in knowledge and information spreading throughout the education system in three countries. The engaging nature of escape room games disrupts the effectiveness of teaching in a fun and engaging way. Indirectly, students are also part of the target group of this project. Escape room scenarios helped to better understand the world and become more sensitive. This, in turn, aligns with other goals, such as supporting the acquisition of environmental knowledge and the development of culture.

Background

Many European countries, including Poland, are struggling with the deteriorating effects of climate change. Extreme weather phenomena, rising temperatures, violent downpours, and droughts negatively affect agricultural land and the natural environment of Europe as a whole, heading towards a green transformation. The main goal of the "Engaging Escape Games for Environmental Awareness" project was to increase awareness among students about climate change problems throughout the world. However, to achieve these lofty goals, people from school environments had to do it to help young people understand how much we should care for our planet. Teachers are on the front line of these efforts because they shape the thoughts and attitudes of young people towards.
