Objective of the project

We want to increase the civic participation of girls and boys and of the whole educating community through the development and strengthening of cognitive, relational and social skills.

Abstract of the project

The project aims at strengthening civic, relational and social competences, through online and offline training activities addressed to teachers, educators, young people, students 11/19 and parents, on the topics of active citizenship and civic education, prevention of gender and peer violence, guidance, teaching relationships and classroom management.

The activities take place online and in presence on 6 territories, with the support of game-based learning tools: active citizenship paths, a serious game and open badges for the evaluation of competences.

Context analysis

The project is part of an educational scenario marked by ongoing processes of change and the COVID 19 emergency situation which have highlighted the urgency of consolidating innovative educational models that go beyond the mere distinction between digital and traditional teaching, as well as the need to support schools and local authorities in combating educational inequalities and early school leaving. The intervention is focused on six cities where the numbers of early school leavers are particularly alarming.

Roma, Metropolitan City of Rome, Italy

Napoli, Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy

Reggio Calabria, Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria, Italy

Palermo, PA, Italy

Siracusa, Province of Syracuse, Italy

Bari, Metropolitan City of Bari, Italy

The project is implemented in 6 cities through offline activities (Rome, Naples, Bari, Reggio Calabria, Palermo, Syracuse) and nationwide through online activities (serious game).
