Although InnovatorsLab focuses on Gen Z, the experience reminded us that Gen Z was not long ago in childhood and that peacebuilding, empathy and interactive learning methods can also positively reach younger generations. In this sense, we observed how game-based approaches can create engagement even among Gen Alpha through music, movement and interaction.

Work also continued on one of the project’s main outputs, escape room methodologies, as participants prepared a mini escape room game to be implemented in a local school. At the same time, during the week of 19 May – Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day, intercultural exchange, youth participation and learning through shared experiences continued to shape the spirit of the activity.
