Invitation to Chair directors and university professors (Educational Escape Rooms Webinar)

/in /by

Telefónica Chairs invites Chair Directors and professors to the Webinar Telefónica Chairs: Educational Escape Rooms. A meeting organised for those interested in the concept of Educational Escape Rooms and, more specifically, in the  ESCAPP platform which has been developed in coordination with the Telefónica Chair - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, which is having great success even with other European universities, and they consider that it can be a very useful tool for the work of teaching staff in general.

Escape rooms are team action games that have revolutionised the world of entertainment. Players face the challenge of discovering clues and solving challenges to achieve a specific objective. These activities have great potential to foster skills such as teamwork, leadership, creative thinking... And from this, educational escape rooms are born, where part of the content of a subject is integrated into their challenges, so that students must master that content to achieve the final goal.
