The partnership between SHINE 2Europe and AD ELO under the TERRA.game project had another memorable moment with the official meeting between the two entities at the ‘Battle VirtuALL’, held on 25 June at the Mira Municipal Pavilion. This marked the start of joint activities involving local stakeholders, with a focus on preparing and gathering information for the needs analysis.
The ‘Battle VirtuALL’, organised by AD ELO in partnership with the Municipality of Mira, brought together senior citizens and technicians from the region for a day of competition, socialising and sharing knowledge. SHINE was invited to the event with the aim of observing the dynamics of the games, the degree of user participation and the logistical context, in an essential opportunity to understand the territory and its players, with a view to developing solutions aligned with local needs.
The TERRA.game project, selected under FUTURAL’s Open Call, aims to promote the circular economy and rural resilience through an educational game and a community activity kit, with a special focus on older adults. This joint moment reinforces the commitment of both organisations to a participatory, people-centred approach geared towards sustainability and digital inclusion in rural areas.
