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.eu, projectes
capers.eu , challedu.com)
What’s been delivered so far?
- A Methodological Guide for Crafting Meaningful Intergenerational Escape Rooms
- Five bespoke escape games creating fun, learning-rich experiences
- A 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.
