The education systems in Germany and the
\nNetherlands are undergoing a transition. Traditional teaching methods are
\nincreasingly outdated for young people growing up surrounded by digital media.
\nGamification offers innovative ways to make lessons more engaging—particularly
\nfor subjects often perceived as “dry,” such as history. The need was identified in discussions with educators and confirmed by various German and Dutch studies (for a detailed response, see the document ‘Response to comments on regional coordination ERW’, comments 2 and 3).<\/p>\n
The Game of Stones project aims to enhance
\nhistory education in the programme area through innovative teaching methods.
\nThe border region, where areas of power and national borders have constantly
\nshifted but cultural and social connections have endured, provides a compelling
\nstarting point for this initiative. The region serves as a perfect Living Lab
\nfor exploring history interactively. The project makes history tangible by
\ncombining serious gaming, augmented reality, and participatory design.
\nOver four semesters, students from
\nHochschule Rhein-Waal (DE) and HAN University of Applied Sciences (NL) are
\ndeveloping four innovative games for use in history lessons in Dutch and German
\nschools.
\nThe games are designed to be playable both
\nat school and in participating museums. Dutch and German students will jointly
\ntest the prototypes, adding a valuable cross-border dimension to the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","pr-category":[274],"pr-priority":[289],"pr-stat":[315],"class_list":["post-44649","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry","pr-category-integration-education-and-labor-market","pr-priority-work-together-for-a-connected-border-area","pr-stat-new"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/44649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pr-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-category?post=44649"},{"taxonomy":"pr-priority","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-priority?post=44649"},{"taxonomy":"pr-stat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-stat?post=44649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
