Challedu pioneers new models of learning, inclusion and engagement. Its team consists of educators, teachers, experts, game designers and designs playful experiences and games with the aim to transform every activity into an irresistible experience. The scope is to unlock the transformative power of people as seekers and solvers of complex problems, risk takers, inventors and visionaries. Our work also empowers creativity, fantasy, inclusion and empathy. We work with university students, school children and young people for engaging them with innovation, entrepreneurship, societal problems, and science by empowering their soft-skills, and emotional intelligence. We also empower and provide inclusive experiences for special groups like refugees, children with disabilities and old people with dementia. On the same line Challedu provides seminars to educators, trainers and professionals (eg. phsychologists, ergotherapists, social workers). In total we have more than 5000 people that have participated in our programs in the last 2 years.
