About the Project
Save&Play is a European Erasmus+ project that promotes environmental responsibility among young people, particularly NEET youth and those with Specific Learning Difficulties (SLDs), through gamification and experiential learning. The project responds to the gap between awareness of climate change and real, practical participant engagement by transforming sustainability education into interactive escape games and co-creation activities. Instead of passive learning, participants actively design and experience sustainability-themed games, strengthening their green, digital and civic competences. At the same time, youth workers receive innovative pedagogical tools to support inclusive and accessible climate education. All project results will be developed as free open educational resources to ensure long-term impact and transferability across Europe.
