Since 2013 we actively work in the field of game-based learning developing educational board games, escape rooms & other concepts. We have been involved in developing various innovative educational approaches under the funding of Erasmus+, Council of Europe, KYSK, Education Department. Most note-worthy activities of Shokkin Group: “Critical Escape” – transnational youth initiative for developing educational escape games. “Breakout Box” – international strategic partnership on exploring the use of escape boxes on social topics. “Bright Colors” – international youth exchange on expression through street art in public spaces of Tallinn’s disadvantaged neighborhoods. “Get Involved” – a series of local youth leader trainings, “Jalatalla” – a program for raising social skills of youth at risk. More activity examples and yearly reports are here: et.shokkin.org/milestones-and-achievements.
We can provide game-based learning solutions in various projects. We can develop educational escape games, board games, facilitate game design processes, facilitate educational game sessions. As part of the network we can also deliver training session on game-based methodologies. If needed we are open to join brainstorming events, map interests and needs of young people from our community.
We are curious to explore new partnerships and local collaborations with CSOs from Estonia and abroad. We are interested in expanding our network of partners to be able to co-develop international youth events and training courses for CSOs.
