Specific objectives of the project Play2Green (Serious Gaming for Universal Access to Green Education) are to increase the number of higher education students and lecturers who covered green topics within their studies and to provide innovative, green-themed educational resources to everyone (https://sociallab.fer.hr/play2green/).
The Play2Green project kick-off meeting was held on the 1st of December 2022 at University of Zagreb, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in Zagreb, Croatia.
The aim of the meeting was for the consortium members to get to know each other personally and to familiarize them with the project, work packages, ongoing activities and their responsibilities to lay a strong foundation for the successful implementation of the project.
