The primary goal of our project was to critically assess and enhance the role of games in non-formal education within the context of volunteer and youth activities. Usually, the use of games in these settings needs more substantial reflection on their advantages, challenges, and potential drawbacks. While games are widely employed for team building and content delivery, the project aimed to address and mitigate issues such as the reproduction of stereotypes, oversight of power structures, exclusion of individuals with disabilities, and violations of personal space
1. Critical Reflection on Games in Non-formal Education:
· Sensitised participants to various forms of discrimination.
· Created safer spaces to enhance inclusivity in youth and volunteering projects.
2. Intersectional Perspectives:
· Raised awareness and understanding of global justice, gender, class, race, inclusion, and climate justice in game facilitation.
· Developed and shared inclusive, diverse, and power-critical games.
3. Building on Partner Experiences:
· Built on partners’ diverse experiences with seminar contexts, target groups, and perspectives related to games in non-formal education.
4. Promoting Peace and Human Rights in Games:
· We deepened our understanding of the role of peace and human rights in games used for educational purposes.
5. Quality Improvement in Non-formal Education Instruments:
· Enhance the quality of non-formal education instruments for use in future events, projects, trainings, seminars, and general meetings.
6. Empowering Youth Workers:
· We aimed to provide youth workers with tools and methods for power-critical, inclusive, and peaceful games in educational work.
7. Manual Creation:
· A significant outcome of our project is the development of a comprehensive manual for games in educational work. This manual encompasses underlying concepts, shared experiences with safe spaces in games, and guidelines for peaceful playing.
8. Building Alliances and Solidarity:
· We believe we created a more robust alliance and solidarity within the peace and volunteering movement. This involves fostering collaboration among the organizations involved in this project and establishing networks for future cooperation and peace-education projects.
Ultimately, the project sought to contribute to active participation in democratic life, social and civic engagement, and the establishment of a more inclusive and peaceful educational environment. The phased approach, including online preparation, offline training, implementation, reflection, and follow-up, ensured a thorough and iterative process toward the achievement of these objectives.
