Gamifying Rural Youth Work
Project Abstract
The project considers raising rural youth participation by involving them in the grassroots youth work of local youth organisations. To this end, the project will bring innovation by developing innovative curricula and gamification tools for grassroots rural youth work, and empower youth workers, youth organisations and rural youth, especially from the Eastern Partnership countries.
Ultimately, the project will create a web platform with the NFE grassroots curriculum, the gamification tool and a free, open online course for the youth workers that will sustain the interested organisations and youth workers/educators.
