Training for adult learners

Local identity, social inclusion & intercultural dialogue through gamification and innovative methodologies

This Erasmus+ adult learning mobility programme offers an opportunity to explore issues of cultural identity, intercultural dialogue, active citizenship, and social inclusion through the lens of Bilbao’s urban and cultural transformation. Participants will engage in practical and dynamic activities that reflect on diversity and social integrity within the local context of the Basque Country.

The programme is designed and hosted by Media Creativa, an experienced organisation in innovative learning experiences in the field of adult education. Through practical and field-based activities in local environments, with visits to community organisations, cultural institutions, and historical sites, this course provides participants with opportunities for reflection and new educational strategies that can later be extrapolated to their home communities and professional fields.
