From 17 to 20 November 2025, Mentor Arabia participated in the Beyond Games Unlocked interregional training held in Armenia, focused on developing games and educational tools to foster youth cooperation as part of the Beyond Borders SNAC initiative.
The training aimed to promote the values and benefits of interregional youth collaboration, using game design as an innovative methodology to strengthen connections, encourage cooperation, and build networks for future international youth projects. Participants had the opportunity to develop educational games and tools specifically designed to engage young people across borders.
Ms. Hanane Kalakesh, representing Mentor Arabia, attended the training and contributed her expertise in youth mentoring and program development. Her participation reflects Mentor Arabia’s ongoing commitment to innovative youth engagement and cross-border collaboration, leveraging creative tools like game-based learning to empower young people and foster international partnerships.
The seminar gathered approximately 25 participants, including experts in international youth work, game development, and project coordination from programme and neighbouring partner countries. Through collaboration and knowledge-sharing, the event highlighted the potential of creative methodologies to strengthen youth cooperation and pave the way for sustainable, interregional initiatives.
