Treasure hunt activity designer
This badge is awarded to youth workers who have successfully designed and implemented a treasure hunt activity as an engaging learning tool in youth work or training settings. The activity is designed to support exploration, collaboration, problem-solving, or learning in a creative, playful format.
To support the process, participants will receive an activity design template with guiding prompts. This tool helps structure their thinking across four key phases: planning, preparation, implementation, and follow-up: https://global.cityoflearning.eu/storage/content/ae1csn4o7gmicikmqcopdv6mr06l6pm7.pdf
