about
With games, we can adapt reality perception to make it more enjoyable. Joy is universal for all people, thus it ignores barriers in human interaction. So if we practice games, that blur the differences, and highlight our commons and equality, we can manifest inclusion into our lives, and in the society. The goal of this project is to find/make up, practice and collect games, that could become an attitude changing tool for players and observers.
GOALS
– develop problem solving attitude, when addressing specific issues with tailored gaming solutions;
– with games develop self-esteem, creativity, positive attitude, leadership, team working, cooperation;
– practice organising games for different audiences, which could be used in future in social work, organising events, shows;
– create an online collection of games, that can be used in peer-to-peer education when working with the topics of various borders. The way of making them publicly available is to be decided by participants.
DURING THE PROJECT
We will have at least 32 diffeent games to play during this project. Each day we will be exploring a specific barrier with 4 time slots for each national team to organise a game.
Games will end with a round of feedback for organisers and with discussion on whether that game would really help to integrate people facing specific barrier. Game organisers will provide description of the game rules in English, and take pictures and videos of the game that will be posted after the game was tried by other participants..
For further information download the INFOPACK.
Conditions
Age: 18-30.
Countries: Germany, Romania, Serbia, Türkiye.
Each team will consist of group leader and 4 participants. Each team will need to submit at least 8 games, that will be accessible for people facing any of the 8 barriers.

Here is the list with answers to the most popular questions about us and what we do
Most of the international youth exchanges are targeted at young people between the ages of 12 and 30. However, more and more opportunities for children are developed with each year. International youth exchanges are basically aimed at all adolescents and young adults. The youth exchanges organised by CHANCE International are usually targeting young people from 18 to 26 (in some cases up to 30) and funded within the Erasmus + programme.
We distinguish between participant contribution and total costs. The participant contribution is 50 Euro at max, depending on the project. During 2021 there is no participation fee. If the contribution is too high, we will always find a way for you to participate in an encounter. Please contact us!
A youth exchange is financed by the organiser’s own funds, third-party funds and the participant’s contribution. Third-party funds are provided by the Federal Government from the Child and Youth Plan and European funds from the Erasmus+ youth programme. Third-party funds are applied for by the organiser or sponsor.
