We’re thrilled to share updates from our recent consortium meeting, held in Brno from November 20th to 25th, 2024. This gathering marked a big step forward in developing our hybrid game, designed to help young people improve their media literacy skills in an engaging and innovative way.
The hybrid game combines the best of both worlds—a board game for hands-on interaction and a mobile app to bring digital dynamism into the mix. During the meeting, partners worked together to finalize the game’s prototype. It was an exciting process of refining mechanics, testing ideas, and ensuring everything ties back to our goal of empowering young people to think critically about the media they consume.
One of the highlights of the week was testing the mobile app created by our development team. Seeing the app come to life and experiencing how it works alongside the board game was incredibly rewarding. The feedback gathered from all partners will help us fine-tune it even further, making sure it’s fun, intuitive, and impactful for young users.
We also used this time to dive into creating more content for the game. From developing new scenarios to crafting thought-provoking challenges, the team worked hard to ensure the game remains engaging while tackling real-world issues surrounding media literacy.
The meeting brought together eight participants—two from each partner organization. The energy and creativity in the room were inspiring as everyone contributed their expertise and ideas to take the project closer to its final form.
We’re so proud of how far this project has come and excited for what’s next. This hybrid game isn’t just about playing; it’s about learning to navigate today’s complex media landscape with confidence and critical thinking. We can’t wait to share the final product with youth workers, educators, and young people eager to make sense of the digital world.
