MOVE Project Shares the Methodology to Foster Inclusivity and EU Values Through Gamification

The MOVE project has taken significant strides in empowering VET professionals, youth workers, immigrants, and policymakers through a recently held Youth Lab. This lab focused on implementing the project’s Training Guide, which was developed to foster inclusivity and promote EU values. A diverse group of 21 participants was equipped with practical tools and strategies to advance these objectives, particularly targeting young people, immigrants, and refugees.

The Training Guide and its Key Objectives
The Training Guide is a collaboratively designed training model centered on social innovation, featuring dynamics, games, and materials adaptable for practical use across participating countries and beyond. During the lab, participants explored innovative ways to integrate inclusivity into their professional settings and communities, with a focus on key objectives:

• Promoting Inclusivity: Equip participants with strategies to create welcoming environments for immigrants and refugees.
• Enhancing Understanding of EU Values: Strengthen knowledge of fundamental EU principles, such as human rights, democracy, equality, and the rule of law, to build a more cohesive European society.

Positive Feedback and Valuable Suggestions
The workshop was met with overwhelmingly positive feedback. Participants particularly praised its interactive methodology and the inclusive nature of the activities. Here are some key takeaways:

• Engaging Format: Attendees appreciated the hands-on activities, innovative approaches, and networking opportunities.
• Suggestions for Improvement: Some participants suggested incorporating more role-plays and visual presentations to enhance engagement and understanding. Additionally, they recommended more in-depth questioning during the third (bingo) stage for a more immersive experience.
• Interactive Methodology: Many participants described the workshop as “perfect” and praised the interactive nature of the sessions, feeling that nothing needed to be changed.
