<< Background >>Both partner organisations are active in the promotion and organisation of volunteering, and we promote volunteering opportunities through information sessions in secondary schools. In both countries, there was a need to use non-formal methods to bring students closer to the need for their altruistic attitude and commitment to social issues, rather than introducing the characteristics and opportunities of volunteering in a presentation. Partner organisations aim to involve volunteers to serve social issues, so inspiring and engaging young people is essential. The process of engagement always starts at young becoming sensitive people to their own environment, recognising that they can do something for the people around them or for the natural environment. Gamification tools are a good way of shaping attitudes in young people's education, and can have an emotional impact. The cooperation between the two countries has resulted a more colourful board game with a European perspective, based on European values. << Objectives >>The main aim of the project is to inspire, sensitise and engage 14+ age group towards volunteering and social participation through gamification. To this end, the main objective was to develop a cooperative board game, complemented by a methodological recommendation for users, in order to accompany the educational type of board game with a process of awareness raising and processing. The non-formal learning tool focuses on voluntary opportunities and social challenges to increase awareness and motivation. The short-term objective of the project was achieved: the board game was developed and distributed to youth workers, civic leaders, volunteer centres, teachers working in community service in schools, who introduced and used the game for their own young target groups. The online methodological recommendations helped them to process the observations, insights, questions and lessons learned from the educational game among young people. The online version of the created board game in English and Hungarian is available free of charge.<< Implementation >>Several planned and extra activities have been implemented in the project:- 7 online professional meetings (kick-off / evaluation / partnership meetings)- 3 in-person workshops (1 in Szeged, 1 in Kézdivásárhely, 1 in Gyula) during the planning, testing and finalisation phases of the game.- local activities: preliminary data collection, intermediate multi-version testing, questionnaire survey on finished game and recommendation- conceptualisation of the board game, professional content, design, ergonomics, editing and printing, online accessibility- writing, editing and design of methodological recommendation- English translation, English version, online accessibility- multiplication: dissemination of results through in-person board game presentations, online workshops, online, offline and social media, knowledge sharing platforms- collecting feedback and evaluations.Activities involved young people both in the workshop and in the testing process to produce tools tailored to young people. The professional work was accompanied by project management, which took care of the procurement, documentation and resources needed to implement the project.<< Results >>The project produced a board game in Hungarian with educational messages and based on cooperation, as well as a methodological recommendation for the processing and embedding of the game. The products are available online for downloading, but also in 100 printed copies. In addition to the Hungarian version, the board game and the methodological recommendations are also available online in English.The multipliers of the partner organisations received a tool and a methodological recommendation to promote volunteering, supporting the gamification pedagogical approach. The board game will have an impact on the young people reached by the organisations and their partners, strengthening their social participation and developing their civic competences through the understanding of volunteering. The online English version will open up new perspectives in motivating foreigners to volunteer. The promotional tools and capacity of organisations in the field of volunteering have been increased. The non-formal tools can be borrowed and requested from partners while stocks last.
