Escape to Inspire

Future is about changing our habits and becoming environmentally more responsible. But how to involve society? How to deliver our message?“Escape to Inspire” is a project that aims to encourage young people to develop environmentally responsible actions.

Future is about changing our habits and becoming environmentally more responsible. But how to involve society? How to deliver our message? Often our communication with society is problem-focused that makes people feel guilty. It could be that these messages scare them away from our activities because people don’t want to think about more problems than they have. Therefore we want to develop encouraging, solution–focused approaches to make people interested in environmental topics and inspire them to change their habits. Games create dynamics, challenge minds, foster cooperation and make people smile and it’s one of the ways how to create solution-focused and positive messages.

Therefore we want to create educative escape rooms about environmental topics to promote and deliver efficiently our message.

“Escape to Inspire” is a project that aims to  develop educational escape rooms and escape games in order to raise awareness about actual environmental issues through game and by creating approaches that will encourage young people to develop environmentally responsible actions.

The training course will contain of following elements:

Getting to know each other and creating a safe learning community;

Sharing and discussing current environmental challenges and possible solutions in local, national and global level;

Educative escape rooms: what is it?  Learning and experiencing conceptually and practically;

Building educative escape rooms / escape games in 3 place in Valladolid: environmental education center, school and youth center.

Creating educative escaper rooms for local communities in partner- countries.
