This sentence sums up in an effective way the spirit that has guided, along almost one year, the GEM<\/a> consortium that has met for the final meeting and international dissemination seminar in Palermo on 20 and 21 of July 2017.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main focus of these final shared moments has been the GEM board game<\/strong>: an educational product<\/strong> that allows players to learn<\/strong> about history, customs, food and the main events of the partner countries of the project: Italy, Palestine, Egypt and France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game has been tested by more than 160 youngsters (<\/strong>aged 14-20 years old) among partners countries, obtaining a very positive evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project\u2019s achievements have been shared during the international dissemination seminar<\/strong> attended by more than 40 people<\/strong> from local associations, schools and reception centres, as well as non-formal educators, students who attended workshops, teachers, or just people curious to know GEM and the board game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
