The SERASUM: For a better tomorrow is a learning adventure, made by the Landesmedienzentrum Baden-Württemberg, where the participants of the project are immersed in a story that has them create new identities from a different country and become agents for sustainable development. Their training takes place in a virtual world where they collaboratively face challenges regarding sustainable development with groups of learners from other countries in a multilingual and multicultural setting. While using their linguistic skills, they will learn about sustainable development and develop skills that will help them create a better future.
Since they need to develop practical skills regarding sustainability, their task will be to build a new sustainable model community (housing, society). For this, they will have to organize themselves, discuss goals and divide these goals into smaller tasks to be completed by subgroups. In order to find solutions for common problems, they will have to start with research and then share and apply their new knowledge creatively. While working on their respective tasks there will be regular meetings to report on their progress and for feedback purposes. During their journey, the agents will complete 6 missions and use different digital tools & platforms to report their progress.
