Game Changers in the media

As part of the National Education Agency’s Educational Innovation Exhibition School Exhibition 2020, the Game Changer project’s experience was presented at the Lithuanian Exhibition and Congress Center Litexpo. During the presentation, learning innovation was examined by integrating holistic learning methods and organizing distance learning: Inovatyvus mokymas tvariai bendruomenei: ,,Game Changer’iai”  patirtis (LT) and Projekto ,,Game changer” patirtis (su vert. į gestų k.) (LT) . At the international scientific-practical conference “Civic Education for the Success of Lithuania and the World,” the project Game Changers was presented as a civic and social initiative. Political education issues were discussed at the conference, and practical tools for bolstering civic and social initiatives were shared:  Tarptautinė konferencija „Pilietinis ugdymas Lietuvos ir pasaulio sėkmei“ (LT).

The Lithuanian College of Democratic Education has presented an innovative digital civic education program on platforms to share current educational and European sustainability issues. European e. Epale, an adult learning platform, shared game changers’ experience with implementing a digital storytelling methodology: Epale: Pristatyta inovatyvi skaitmeninė pilietinio ugdymo programa (LT). The results of the Game changers project, which focused on the views and attitudes of young people in different countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, were shared on Erasmus +, a platform of the European Union’s support program: Erasmus – plius: Mokyklos atranda inovatyvius būdus mokyti pilietiškumo (LT). The electronic platform of the conference on Europe’s Future shared the concept of the Game changers project as well as an invitation to join the Game changers network, which promotes active citizenship among young people. The platform allows European citizens to discuss the challenges and solutions that Europe faces: Futureu.eu: Jaunieji ,,Game Changer’iai” keičia pasaulį (LT).

During the project, young students became political game-changers and run their own communities initiatives or projects. All best practices, lessons learn and practical partners’ e-portfolio could be found in the interactive platform (www.gamechangersnetwork.eu). Game Changers Network welcomes and involves researchers or practitioners to promote and support youth and teachers in that field: http://gamechangernetwork.eu/.
