In a world that is becoming increasingly digital, the need for authentic human connection and meaningful learning is more urgent than ever. With this in mind, and with immense enthusiasm, we are launching the Odd Statue Social blog today. This isn’t just a new website for us; it’s an open invitation to you—our partners, educators, change-makers, and players—to explore with us the power of play when it’s designed for social impact.
Why This Blog, Why Now?
Our mission at Odd Statue Social has always been clear: to create meaningful social impact through interactive experiences. We tackle real challenges, like the social isolation of the elderly and the need for sustainable practices in the gaming industry. We believe the solutions don’t always lie in complex algorithms, but in the joy of discovery, collaboration, and the magic of a good story. This blog is our bridge from theory to practice, a way to share the “how” and the “why” behind our work.
What Will You Find Here?
On the pages of this blog, we will unfold the world of educational gaming and social impact. Here’s what you can expect:
Deep Dives into Our Erasmus+ Projects
We’ll take you behind the scenes of our projects. You’ll discover the challenges and successes of ESCAPERS, where memories become games that unite generations, and UpGameIn, which aims to make the gaming industry greener and more inclusive.
Stories of Real Impact
Numbers tell part of the story, but people tell the rest. We will feature the voices of those who participate in our workshops—their stories, their revelations, and how game-based learning changed their perspective.
Analysis and Methodology
Why is game-based learning so effective? We will break down our design principles, discuss the pedagogical theories that guide us, and share practical tips for educators who want to integrate play into their teaching.
Become Part of the Community
This blog is the beginning of a conversation, not the end of one. We invite you to participate actively. Leave comments. Ask questions. Challenge our ideas. Share your own experience. Knowledge built collectively is always more powerful.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. The game is just getting started!
