Over the past months, our DivE(d) team hosted a five-part webinar series exploring how playful, experiential and game-based methods can make learning more inclusive for diverse-ability groups of young people. The goal of DivE(d) is simple but ambitious: to support educators with tools that are accessible, engaging, and adaptable: whether they come from youth work, non-formal education, or formal learning environments.
We are excited to share that the visual summaries for all five webinars are now available!
Across the series, over 90 participants joined us in real time, contributing questions, sharing best practices, and sparking conversations that will continue far beyond the webinars themselves. Whether you attended one session or all five, your engagement helped shape this journey.
Webinar 1: Playful Methods in Inclusive Education
Our first webinar laid the foundations for what inclusive learning can look like when play is at the center. We explored why playful methods resonate with young people, how they reduce barriers, and how they ensure participation from learners with varying abilities.
Webinar 2: Puzzle-based Learning and Inclusion
This session focused on puzzles as tools for cognitive engagement, teamwork, and accessibility. Participants discovered how puzzle mechanics can support differentiated learning and how simple adjustments can open participation to more learners.
Webinar 3: LEGO®-based Games in Inclusive Education
LEGO® allows for hands-on learning that supports creativity, structure, and communication. In this webinar, we showcased techniques for using LEGO® in mixed-ability groups, from storytelling to problem-solving exercises.
Webinar 4: TTRPGs in Inclusive Education
Tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) offer rich opportunities for identity exploration, cooperation, and social skill development. This session demonstrated how TTRPGs can be adapted to different abilities, and how educators can design safe, empowering play experiences.
Webinar 5: EDU-LARP — Learning by Playing Someone Else
In our final webinar, we dove into educational live-action roleplay (EDU-LARP). Participants learned how LARPs can immerse young people in meaningful scenarios, support empathy-building, and encourage experiential decision-making.
What’s next for DivE(d)?
These webinars are only the beginning. The DivE(d) project continues with upcoming training activities, practical publications, and a full set of inclusive method adaptations designed to support educators working with diverse-ability youth groups.
We invite you to explore the visual summaries and share the materials with colleagues who might benefit from them. Each resource was created to be practical, inspiring, and ready to bring directly into your work.
Thank you to everyone who joined us live and supported this journey. Together, we are contributing to a more inclusive, playful, and accessible learning landscape for young people across Europe.
