This Country report encompasses information starting from the inception of the project, as captured in the initial Google survey, up to the present moment as we progress through WP 2 development. This phase involves the creation of educational materials and toolkits for the integration of sport video gaming in educational contexts. The situation described in the research shares the current situation in Serbia.
HopaSus Erasmus Sport Plus project was born out of the need of teachers and youth workers from 4 European countries to develop their digital skills and become more resilient in times of pandemics by using sport video games in their virtual or face-to-face classrooms. The aim of the project is to encourage sport teachers to recognize the potential of video games and sport applications and experiment with new strategies for incorporating them into their gyms and classrooms, and to promote the inclusion of “video games addicted youth” by changing the paradigm of persistent stereotyping of video games as predominantly mindless, violent forms of entertainment, into seeing the potential of video gaming technologies as instructional tools that takes out the children from the desk chair out into the sport field.
