New Shores at the YoDel Conference in Poprad

On 9 April 2019, TANDEM n.o. had the opportunity to present and play New Shores during YoDel – youth development conference in Poprad, Slovakia. The objective of this annual conference is to promote innovative approaches to young people, and this year’s topic was innovation and democracy. The program included lectures and workshops on the opportunities and challenges in youth work. The participants of the event had something in common: they all deal with young people – in the school system, in a leisure center, in a company or voluntary organization. This colorful composition was of great importance to our workshop. The game session was attended by 14 people, including several high school students. All of them were very enthusiastic about the game, and they did their best to create a sustainable community on the island. Many people expressed the wish to use New Shores in their work in the future, and students noted that their classmates would also like the game. Gábor Šikula, Tünde Szendi – TANDEM, n.
