The E-VITA project promotes and investigates pedagogy-driven innovation by defining new approaches to problem-based and contextualised learning. Furthermore, it facilitates knowledge-transfer mechanisms which integrate Game Based Learning [GBL] with intergenerational learning concepts. A set of games intending to increase European cultural awareness by conveying the cross-border experiences of older Europeans will be developed, allowing users to experience Europe in a time when strict travelling and migration rules, different economic and monetary systems, and intercultural uncertainty was commonplace. The games will draw on a pedagogically-driven and participatory design process, in order to create engaging and educational experiences that promote self-reflection on the achievements of the European Integration process, outside a formal instructional context.

The E-VITA project is co-funded by the Education and Culture DG under the Lifelong Learning Programme, KA 3
