Game Factory
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The main theme of the GAME FACTORY is how to engage (disadvantaged) young people from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds by using games as a tool for personal and social development. In addition, the training will address the role of the youth worker/leader in making contact with a wide range of (disadvantaged) young people. All of the participants are professionals or highly motivated volunteers that are daily involved with (disadvantaged) young people and consider innovative approaches based on creativity as a possible way of working with their target groups. Our experience from previous trainings is that these professionals are always looking for new techniques that they can use effectively with their target groups; and that there is not a good level of knowledge, skill and experience of game playing amongst youth workers/leaders. A growing generation of disadvantaged young people currently have no work and is not involved in study. Often, their problem is a combination of cross-related problems in several areas: health, housing, work, health, education and justice. By organising this training we hope that youth workers/leaders gain more knowledge of how to activate this group of young people and to establish a deeper relationship with them what could lead to discuss/solve cross-releated problems. The training was lead by a staff member from Richter and 1 person from the Lithuanian organisation Lietuvos liberalus jaunimas. The local partner is the training was YMCA from Lviv.
