"play the change you wish to see in the world"

Imagine a global community united in tackling the climate crisis. We make that happen by building games that foster climate action!

We revolutionize sustainability education through innovative game-based learning, by:

  • Developing engaging educational games that build key sustainability competences
  • Training facilitators to effectively use these games in diverse educational settings
  • Fostering a global community of sustainability educators and learners
  • Empowering youth to take meaningful action on climate change and sustainability challenges

Through our work, we aim to make sustainability education accessible, engaging, and impactful for young people across Europe and beyond.

Climate for All is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, although the project is designed to continue well beyond that. It is a partnership of five NGOs involved in international youth work: All for Climate ASBL from Belgium, Zavod EREA from Slovenia, Nausika Education Foundation from Poland), Selkie Educational Foundation from the Netherlands and the International Youth Work Trainers Guild from Germany.

During the first year of our project, we researched existing games on the theme of sustainability and analysed them based on the GreenComp framework, identifying the competences that can be developed by playing them.

We then developed our first six games, playtested them and improved them based on the feedback received, and are now in the process of getting them published.

At the time of this post, we are only days away from our first training of facilitators, where the first cohort of external facilitators will be trained at facilitating workshops based on our games, following an experiential and play-based learning method we devised, that helps the players realise what competences they have developed by playing our games, and then empowers them to put them to action in their local communities!

We are very excited to have reached this milestone and will keep you up to date right after our training, also including links to experience our games and be part of the next steps of our project!

Dear Antonios Triantafyllakis ,

Congratulations on such an interesting project and happy to have you on board for the EducationForClimate Day 2024! I had the pleasure to read your full submission, including your survey, and it is an inspiring learning scenario. As explained in the call page and in the survey, I have now proceeded to curate your post to include all the relevant tags. However, I believe that the community would benefit from learning more about your methodology, subjects involved in the project, and a more detailed explanation of the learning scenario.

Would you mind editing your blog post adding this information for the rest of the community?
