More than one million children are incarcerated worldwide at any one time (UNICEF, 2008) deeply affecting their social, educational and economic prospects. ActiveGamesforChange (AG4C)<\/strong> aims to support young people in conflict with the law in the acquisition and usage of key competencies<\/strong> to facilitate inclusion, education and employability, by developing an innovative framework of learning environments and materials.<\/p>\n

Despite some initial setbacks encountered due to Covid-19 restrictions, project partners have been working hard in the last few months to develop a set of games as sports-like activities<\/strong> divided by levels to support educators<\/strong> to deliver the activities to young offenders (both from secure or community settings) and develop their socio-emotional competence<\/strong>s. These include self-awareness and self-management skills, becoming responsible decision-makers, improving their relationship skills and being more socially aware. Educators working with young offenders and young people themselves will also be supported by an innovative app<\/strong> that will allow them to follow the games and track their progress.<\/p>\n

Partners have almost already completed these materials. Even if they could not meet face-to-face in in May 2020 in Romania to discuss about them due to Covid-19, they did meet online on 7th July 2020 and plan the project\u2019s next steps.<\/p>\n

Coming up<\/h2>\n

Each partner will organize a Validation workshop<\/strong> in October 2020 with experts and stakeholders from the Youth and Sports fields to fine-tune the games and app. Moreover, partners and trainers will be trained in November 2020 in Portugal and then kick-off the piloting of the games with educators and young offenders from secure and community settings in January 2021.<\/strong> \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
