This project, aiming to develop critical thinking skills, is intended for educators, trainers, and educational program developers who want to incorporate critical thinking tools into their practice. We offer open webinars, courses, and develop a digital critical thinking handbook.
Out of the Box
"Escape room: Out Of The Box" is a strategic partnership project of non-profit organizations from four countries: Estonia, Lithuania, Germany, and Portugal. The project aims to teach youth workers, trainers, educators, and volunteers practical skills in working with such an informal education tool as Escape Rooms. We focus on using this tool with diverse and mixed groups to engage different youth groups in solving various social issues (e.g., social inclusion, human rights, bullying) through games and play.
