The context:
The project began on the annual meeting of Swedish Eurodesk (17-19 October 2023). One of the themes of these meetings was to present how to reach young people and they wanted the workshop to be presented by young people. So, the national coordinator of Eurodesk in Sweden asked for 2 workshops on how to reach young people in general (aged 17–30) and how to improve the material about European Solidarity Corps (Quiz). They asked an Eurodesk ambassador, Amalia, and a French ESC-volunteer who works at Europe Direct Fyrbodal, Estelle. They worked together but Amalia focused more on general information on how to reach young people and Estelle on how to improve the material to present ESC.
The objectives:
The main aim of the workshop was to improve the material used to present the ESC, which consisted of a quiz. With this in mind, we had to find a creative way of presenting this information and include more participation from young people so that they would be more interested in the mobility program that they will contact us to have more information about European opportunity of mobility. Estelle decided to create a board game “Time to Travel” to present the ESC program.
Presentation of the game:
Players will be travelers who want to build the best suitcase to get the most points. To do this, they’ll have to travel to different European capitals to obtain the items by answering “mobility questions”, follow their travel plan or take up challenges.
