Lusófona University approved for Horizon Results Booster with EPIC-WE Cultural Game Jams

Lusófona University integrates a Booster project to support the exploitation and wider uptake of results developed within the European project EPIC-WE – Empowered Participation through Ideating Cultural Worlds and Environments.

The Booster will focus on the future development and sustainability of Cultural Game Jams, a methodology tested within EPIC-WE to engage young people with cultural heritage, museums, creative practice, and social innovation through game-based co-creation.

Through EPIC-WE the consortium has developed science-backed tools, good practices and a network of experts supporting impactful collaboration between cultural heritage institutions, higher education institutions, creative industries, municipalities, and youth communities. The approach has already been tested in collaboration with prestigious cultural institutions, including ARoS Aarhus Art Museum in Denmark.

The consortium includes Aarhus University, Creative Business Network, Battlesheep, Lusófona University / COFAC, KEA European Affairs, Dropstuff Media BV, and Câmara Municipal de Óbidos.

This approval reinforces Lusófona University’s commitment to strengthening the societal and cultural impact of European research, promoting innovation through games, and creating new bridges between youth, culture, and the creative industries.
