🇬🇧 About the project
GAMYTHICATION IS A YOUTH EXCHANGE INSPIRED BY GAMES AND MYTHOLOGY, USED AS VEHICLES FOR A JOURNEY TOWARDS THE INNER SELF CONSCIOUSNESS. EVERY STORY, EVERY BOOK, EVERY MOVIE, EVERY THEATRE PLAY, IS AN ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE OR TO RECREATE THE EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE AND THE INTENSITY OF INVOLVEMENT THAT YOU HAVE WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU THE STORY OF SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED OR COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO THEM.
USING STORYTELLING TECHNIQUES, SHAPING NARRATIVES AND UTILIZING THE POWER OF GAMIFICATION PRINCIPLES WE WILL CREATE NEW STORIES AND LEARN HOW TO PRESENT THEM TO AN AUDIENCE. WE WILL ENGAGE IN BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES FROM NATURE HIKES IN SEARCH OF INSPIRATION TO DESIGNING AND TESTING OUR OWN ESCAPE ROOM EXPERIENCES. WE WILL ALSO SHARE VARIOUS LOCAL MYTHS AND STORIES FROM OUR COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN, PASSED DOWN THROUGH GENERATIONS TO FIND THE COMMON THINGS THAT INSPIRE AND MOVE US AS HUMAN BEINGS.
The Project Aims to:
INTRODUCE THE BASICS OF STORYTELLING THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE HERO’S JOURNEY PARADIGM
