PlayWithYourFuture

Have you ever imagined a digital game where you can learn about mental health, social inclusion and environment? Play With Your Future is an innovative non-formal education tool, which takes the form of a digital game and aims to raise awareness of the general objectives of the European Union (EU) Strategy for Youth, with a main focus on mental health and well-being , Inclusive societies and a sustainable green Europe. The main bases of the digital game were conceived and designed by several young people, during a Training Course, which took place in Cascais, for 10 days, attended by participants from Portugal, Estonia and Italy. Through the use of non-formal education activities and board games, topics related to gamification - use of game methodologies and characteristics to turn more complex content into more accessible materials - were discussed, as well as the themes of the project. Play With Your Future is a consortium coordinated by the National Youth Office of the Red Cross, together with the Youth Cross Red of the Braga Delegation, the Association of Psychology of the University of Minho, Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NGO from Estonia) and Studio Progetto (NGO from Italy), co-financed by the Erasmus+ Youth in Action Program of the European Commission, Key Action 2: Cooperation for innovation and exchange of good practices.
