The innovation addresses the challenges associated with the difficulty of understanding and dealing with strong emotions by the residents of care institutions. Additionally, it addresses the lack of tools to support caregivers in providing emotional education to young people in these institutions.

This innovation works by creating an interactive, engaging board game that is tailored to the needs and challenges of young people in care institutions.

Adolescents in care institutions during adolescence

Family- and institutional-type care facilities; public and non-public schools; psychologists; counsellors; therapists; summer and winter therapeutic holidays; socio-therapeutic centres.

Board game design; instruction; instructional video.

This tool supports the emotional development of young people, enabling them to learn new skills and share difficulties in a safe environment. The game not only integrates the peer group, but also builds trust between players. It allows the leaders to broaden their skills and knowledge of the areas addressed in the game, such as sexuality or available help centres, and to develop skills for building the right environment, such as motivating withdrawn people, setting boundaries or supporting them in difficult moments. Children in care facilities see the game as an opportunity to identify with similar problems and to open up to more open communication about their own experiences.
