KidLe
Developing an intercultural game as a pedagogic tool for the inclusion of pupils with migrant bacKground in new Learning environments
Description

The KiDLE project aims to support the inclusion of migrant children/pupils in new school environments by co-creating 5 intercultural board games and integrating them into a digital gaming pack. The project seeks to build educators' and parents' capacity to use games for children's learning and development, implement the gaming pack through gaming events, and raise awareness about the role of cross-cultural games in early childhood education towards supporting inclusion.

Challenge

KiDLE will be implemented through five work packages, which include the co-creation of five intercultural board games, the integration of the games into a gaming pack, implementation of the pack through gaming events, building the capacity of educators and parents, and raising awareness among local and international audiences. The project will involve co-creation with parents and children, as well as teachers in each country, and will include a digital, multilingual version of each game.
