Escape Room & Escape Games: Game-based learning

The participants will get to know the method "Escape Game" for intercultural and school work. The aim is to get to know the possibilities of designing an Escape Game as well as to evaluate and reflect on the performance of the players.

In the course of the seminar week, the participants will get to know different types of riddles and create their first own tasks. This creates the prerequisites for using this method with intercultural groups and for creating Escape Games for their own projects.
Prerequisites are an interest in intercultural exchange, openness to "gamebased learning" elements, and a willingness to work in groups in a practice-oriented manner.

The seminar comprises 48 hours and consists of theoretical and practical units. In addition, there is a constant exchange of expertise. In addition to plenary sessions, discussions in small groups and joint workshops, individual working groups will develop and present media projects.

The course is taught in English. However, trainers and course providers also speak German.

Individual consultations and an accompanying program to culturally significant places in the Algarve complement the seminar week.

At the end, a certificate will attest to participation.
The seminar will take place at the 4-star Hotel AGUA RIVERSIDE LAGOA Quinta Do Parchal (Algarve) in Portugal (subject to change).

The course fees are 580€, the cost for the stay in a single room with full board is 896€. The total cost is usually fully subsidized by the EU.
