"The Quality Award of the Erasmus+ program "Wings" confirms excellence - not only in the project ideas and their implementation, but also in the values that permeate them. These projects significantly enrich the soil of the educational environment, where not only the acquisition of knowledge takes place, but also the growth and development of our society, which is ready to innovate. The award symbolizes the courage to embrace new ideas and the commitment to shape our future in a sustainable way" emphasized ERASMUS + program director Zane Gailīte.

Reflections on the NATURE Conference:
The project NATURE Conference brought together the assembly of researchers, students, trainers and other stakeholders to discuss and collaborate on perspectives of using of serious games in natural resources management. The event showcased research on role and specifics of serious game in education and innovative solution- the 3D game with a particular focus on sustainability, responsible project management and biodiversity conservation. We hope that the lessons learned and the connections made at this conference will serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration for a more sustainable and harmonious future. The journey to address climate change, protect biodiversity, and promote sustainability is ongoing, and events like this conference remind us that by working together, we can make a difference.

NATURE conference day is approaching!

NATURE the project is in its final phase and the serious game for natural resource management is being tested in all project countries. Here we are in the process at the Latvian Cultural College. Stay tuned for news on the final conference of the project!
