Working Package five (5) - Development of E-Learning Course | GFIE project
The E-learning course is a comprehensive resource designed to support teachers in effectively engaging with students involved in intercultural education. It offers a diverse range of educational materials and tools specifically tailored to this context.
One key focus of this course is the incorporation of games as a powerful educational tool within intercultural education. Notably, it introduces an innovative approach by providing training materials that encompass the entire spectrum of game-related aspects in intercultural education. This includes guidance on conceptualizing, developing, and implementing games suitable for intercultural education. Furthermore, the course covers the essential skill of adapting games to different educational settings, whether they be outdoor, board-based, or online.
This adaptability is particularly crucial in light of the evolving conditions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. By equipping educators with the knowledge and tools to adapt games for diverse learning environments, the course enables them to continue fostering intercultural understanding and education even in challenging circumstances.
