Within the movement there were organized 10 Erasmus+ projects and planned more, a lot of workshops and local events regarding the topic for more than 250 people. At every project Logos organizes there is a session about Critical Thinking. Also we have a coordinator, working for the movement.

“Dinner 4 Foreigner” (Kolacja Ponad Granicami) is a project started by volunteers of Logos in Poznan (Poland) with the main moto “Stop Fear- Start curiosity”. We aim to break prejudices and to strength European values by involving people from different backgrounds (migrants/emigrants) into Polish society. We want to raise awareness and curiosity among Polish community towards other cultures which would, in return, help to provide integration of foreigners, to avoid misunderstandings or fear based on stereotypes and to increase the general level of multicultural knowledge by using a fantastic tool – food.

Background
Since 2017 Logos has been developing and actively sharing the idea of using escape rooms for educational purposes. Escape rooms are usually used for fun and entertainment, but we decided that they can be an interesting tool when speaking about important and serious topics such as human rights. We implemented several training courses since then and taught around 200 youth workers on how to build their own escape rooms for education.

What is the escape room?
Escape rooms are live-action, team-based games where players discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms in order to accomplish a specific goal (usually escaping from the room) in a limited amount of time. Escape rooms develop creativity, communication, logic, problem-solving skills, analytical skills and are great for team-building.

Escape rooms for education
It is possible to include important educational messages into the room’s story, environment, puzzles, everything! When creating escape rooms for education we speak about human rights education and other important issues. We have a goal of educating youth workers around the Europe on how to build escape rooms and use them for educational purposes.

Toolboxes
In each of the project description, one can find toolboxes, that were made at various projects. Each toolbox contains scenario of escape room, plan of the room, description of puzzles as well as pictures of the room. If needed anyone can use these toolboxes to build similar rooms anywhere. And if you need help, we are ready to support you. Just write us at logos@logos.ngo.
