FUTURE TIME TRAVELLER is an innovative virtual reality platform that apply the methodology of educational games to create a simulation of a future world.

https://future-time-traveller.eu/

The serious game scenarios incorporate elements of Escape Rooms, Web Quests, Treasure Hunting, strategy and adventure games which have the potential for facilitating career decision making process and help users make use of the labour market intelligence. The visual stimulating, user-centric approach foster engagement and create a truly unique learning experience. The virtual reality environment is designed around a story, which will involve the users in a learning journey, including different virtual spaces.

While exploring the future, the young people improve their knowledge of trends that shape the world of work; sensitize themselves about the societal challenges and dilemmas that accompany technological development; enhance their understanding of the emerging jobs and the skills that will require; promote personal insight of the various career opportunities in front of them and of their role of mastering the future and demonstrate in practice a wide range of career management competences.

Throughout their learning journey players have to complete various missions, which require critical and pro-active thinking, decision making, problem solving; creativity and flexibility. Thus, the FUTURE TIME TRAVELLER helps young people develop in practice a wide range of career management competences for the 21-st century, which in a long-term plan will enhance their employability, productivity and active participation in society.

The users are involved in variety of tasks– reading materials, watching videos, researching for information, solving riddles, puzzles, quizzes, etc. – in order to obtain information about the future life, trends, jobs and skills. Pedagogic elements are closely integrated into the virtual reality environment in order to create a more intuitive method for facilitating learning.

The Erasmus+ project CRAFT is a successor of the FUTURE project and aims at fostering the employability and entrepreneurship of young people in rural areas through co-working.

The project has produced a training program on 3 topics:
💼 Career Skills for the Future
🪂 Entrepreneurship skills
👨‍🌾 Managing co-working spaces in rural areas

They will especially focus on fostering job opportunities and entrepreneurship in personal care and health,
green economy and STEAM.

Based on the content, the partnership has developed 7 original game-based learning scenarios, which will allow young people to test their skills and knowledge in a challenging and engaging way.

In the next months, we will finalize the 3D virtual world platform, where the scenarios will be integrated. It is based on the same technology as the Future Time Traveller, with 7 brand new missions which take place as virtual escape games in beautiful rural scenery.

In September we will present it to a pilot group of young people at learning mobility, which is planned to take place in Croatia.

The initiative is implemented by an international partnership involving the Business Foundation for Education in Bulgaria, CIAPE - Italy, CTI in Greece, STEP Insitute for Occupational Psychology and Entrepreneurship in Slovenia, Desa Dubrovnik Regional Center for Community Building and Civil society development in Croatia and Kunnskapstrening It in Norway and is coordinated by the Częstochowskie Stowarzyszenie Rozwoju Małej Przedsiębiorczości in Poland.

ELMET is an Erasmus+ initiative, which promotes innovative Experiential Learning Methodologies
for addressing vulnerable employed and unemployed people.
The main target groups of ELMET are trainers and experts in continuing vocational education and training (C-VET) who work with adults, especially with low-qualified, unemployed, migrant and other at-risk groups.
ELMET uses educative Escape Rooms as new active learning methodology to develop the key skills and competences requested from the changing working environments.
ELMET develops a comprehensive TOOLKIT to help C-VET professionals design and use educative escape games and digital escape rooms in their practice.

The TOOLKIT includes:
• 2 practical guides
• 4 training modules
• 6 escape rooms

The 4 ELMET training modules:
• The escape room as a training tool
• How to design an educative escape room
• The escape room content
• Materials and resources in escape rooms
The 2 ELMET practical guides are:
• A guide to support each of the stages - design, implementation, facilitation and evaluation of the escape room
• A guide to support the creation of 100% digital-based escape rooms.

The 6 escape rooms (3 offline and 3 digital) will develop the main transversal skills –
• digital skills,
• green skills,
• creative and critical thinking,
• communication and collaboration in intercultural context.
These tools will help generate motivating learning spaces (face-to-face and virtual) for the most vulnerable groups and methodologies which are easily transferable to other educational levels.

The project is implemented by an international partnership, involving:
• Diputación Foral de Álava, Spain
• CIP Citizens In Power, Cyprus
• Panepistimio Thessalias, Greece
• Media Creativa 2020, Spain
• And the Business Foundation for Education in Bulgaria.
