The conference is designed to support networking and for organizations dealing with gender equality to be further strengthened and informed through the exchange of examples of good practice. On the second day of the conference, students from the Economic school in Šabac "Stana Milanović" attended and were introduced to the volunteering program called "European Solidarty Core". They were also introduced to the results of the two-year project within which this conference was realized, namely a social game on the topic of gender equality with elements of augmented reality and comics in which various contents on paper are brought to life in the digital world. Our goal is that the social game is used in informal education programs in youth work, and comics are something that can be read individually and bring creative processing of the topic. Comics also have elements of augmented reality, which brings a digital experience of some scenes in comics.
If you implement informal education programs, we are ready to share with you the content that was developed as part of this project.
