On October 23-24, 2023, the third partner meeting of the SELsMINE project took place in Sofia, Bulgaria. The project is implemented in partnership between:

•             DANMAR COMPUTERS SP ZOO – Rzeszów, Poland (Coordinator)

•             UNIVERSIDAD DE VALLADOLID – Valladolid, Spain

•             ASSERTED KNOWLEDGE OMORRYTHMOS ETAIREIA – Ilioupoli, Greece

•             ATERMON B.V. – Rotterdam, Netherlands

•             NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF RESOURCE TEACHERS (NART) – Sofia, Bulgaria

•             EPI FIVE SPÓŁKA Z OGRANICZONĄ ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚCIĄ – Warsaw, Poland

So far, the project has developed an evidence-based “Guide for Providing Social-Emotional Learning Skills through Minecraft”, which will help teachers and educators effectively use Minecraft in their teaching practices.

Additionally, 5 modules for Minecraft are under development, designed to teach social-emotional learning (SEL) skills to students aged 6-12 years. The first version of one of the modules has been already available for viewing here.

Next steps include digitizing the remaining 4 scenarios, translating them into Bulgarian, and developing lesson plans for each of the scenarios. Afterward, the game will be piloted with children to assess how effectively it develops social-emotional learning.

At the end of the project, an event will be held to present all the results achieved.
