Brief description: OER TOWN is an Erasmus+ project from the call 2019 KA2  Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices, specifically, it is a project that aims to create strategic partnerships for adult education. In this project work together five associations from five different countries: Active Citizens Partnership (Greece),  Iberika Sprachschule (Germany), Pistes Solidaires (France), CESIE (Italy) and The University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) (Spain).

Using the power of technology, OER Town project aims to provide a digital tool to promote the inclusion of migrants in their local community by promoting interactions and the acquisition of practical cultural, administrative or legal information.

Its specific goals are 1) to provide ICT solutions to improve autonomy and social inclusion of migrants, including refugees in all the participant countries improving therefore their live quality. 2) To improve and extend the supply of high-quality learning opportunities tailored to the needs of low-skilled or low-qualified adults. And 3) To promote open, free access and innovative education using digital technology.

To this end   a game for mobile devices that provides fun, informal leaning opportunities will be designed, based on a set of challenges through which participants, in addition to acquiring knowledge, will interact with the community.
