ESCAPERS

New from ESCAPERS – Empowering Connections Through Play!

We’re thrilled to showcase ESCAPERS, the European Erasmus+ initiative revolutionising intergenerational learning through escape‐room experiences in care settings. This innovative project harnesses game-based learning to:

  • 🤝 Bridge the generation gap with engaging, collaborative escape games
  • 🌍 Boost social inclusion and reduce isolation among older people
  • 💾 Sharpen digital skills and pass on precious life memories
  • 🧠 Inspire civic involvement and lifelong learning for all ages
  • 👩‍🏫 Up‑skill adult educators with dynamic teaching tools (projectescapers.euprojectescapers.euchalledu.com)

What’s been delivered so far?

  • Methodological Guide for Crafting Meaningful Intergenerational Escape Rooms
  • Five bespoke escape games creating fun, learning-rich experiences
  • Local Labs Guide for community rollout
  • Training for 50 adult educators and 10 trainers to ensure effective delivery
  • Participation from 100 individuals, bringing generations together (projectescapers.eu)

Spanning Greece, Italy, Spain, Ireland—and more—the ESCAPERS consortium is making a real impact by celebrating intergenerational life stories and nurturing cross‑generational bonds.

Help spread the word about ESCAPERS—a playful path to social inclusion and memory preservation! 🌟
