To promote the project results, each partner hosted a multiplier event in their community.

Romania

The multiplier event in Romania for the Youth Escape Covid project took place on December 21, 2022, in Targu Jiu. The event aimed to showcase the project’s outcomes and promote the use of game-based learning in non-formal education.

The event was attended by educators, youth workers, and representatives from various organizations. The participants had the opportunity to see the materials and puzzles created during the project rooms, and engage in discussions on the potential of game-based learning for fostering creativity, problem-solving skills, and socialization.

Overall, the event was a success and contributed to raising awareness about the project’s results and the benefits of game-based learning. Attendees left with a greater appreciation for the potential of games and video games as tools for learning and self-expression, as well as a greater understanding of the importance of gamification. The event was a great example of the power of collaboration and community-building.
