CHECKMATE
Living Labs and Game-Based Learning to Checkmate Climate Misinformation (Erasmus+ KA2)
Checkmate is not just another green project. It’s a chance to truly understand what’s true and what’s fake when it comes to climate change, and to do something about it.
If you’ve ever found yourself in an argument about whether climate change is real, or felt overwhelmed by all the doom and misinformation online, Checkmate is your chance to pause, reflect, and take meaningful action.
You’ll get to play and test a myth-busting climate game, take part in hands-on activities with other young people from around Europe, and even help create real-life community projects through Living Labs. You won’t just be listening to facts—you’ll be learning how to navigate the noise and stand up for climate truth in your own way.
And the best part? It’s Erasmus+ funded, which means it’s fully covered. You’ll travel, meet new people, and have the kind of learning experience that actually sticks with you.
