Important results from the project
The purpose of this project was to carry out a part of the process to create a digital teaching aid in the shape of a game, which will increase children´s knowledge about human rights and strengthen their right to participate. The goal was for children, pedagogues, game designers and others to test a prototype for the game, which has been created in a pre-study. In the longer term, the goal of the project is to complete the product. The purpose and goal have been fulfilled.
Expected long term effects
Short-term effects: Test participants learn about human rights (HR). Short-term results: The prototype has been tested by children and others. Long-term effects: A larger number of children and dutybearers learn about HR. New structures for children´s participation are established, through which children may propose solutions to societal challenges.
