Final conference ''Innovators lab: GenZs Game-Based Peacebuilding"
Conference – Symposium - Forum
2-4 November 2026 | Penik, Bulgaria
InnovatorsLab: Gen Z's Game-Based Peace Building is a transformative initiative empowering Generation Z to lead peacebuilding efforts through creativity, technology, and play. Backed by the Erasmus+ Programme, our cross-border project unites organizations from Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, and Armenia to co-develop groundbreaking methods in conflict transformation. We believe that Gen Z learns differently—they are digital natives, collaborative thinkers, and value-driven. Our mission is to create interactive, gamified, and impactful educational tools that resonate with their needs while building a culture of peace.
KEY ELEMENTS:
1. Opening Session and Project Results - Presentation of the project journey, key milestones, activities, and achievements. Participants will be introduced to the main outputs, including the educational modules, toolkit, and resources developed throughout the project.
2. Peace Escape Room Demonstration - A live demonstration of the Peace Escape Room created during the project. Young people will participate in the activity while facilitators explain its educational objectives, methodology, and learning outcomes.
3. Panel Discussion: Innovation in Peacebuilding - Interactive discussion with youth workers, educators, and stakeholders on the role of game-based learning and innovative approaches in promoting peace, dialogue, and social cohesion.
4. Working Groups and Future Recommendations - Participants will work in small groups to explore how the project's methodologies, share tools and best practices that can be applied in local communities and organisations. Key recommendations and ideas for future cooperation will be collected and presented.
5. Networking Reception - The conference will conclude with a networking session and cocktail reception, providing opportunities for participants to exchange experiences, build partnerships, and discuss future initiatives.
