Phenomena such as floods and fires have always been part of nature and history, but they do not need to become disasters. The FORETELL project emerges from the need to promote a culture of safety in Europe against natural calamities. As children are one of the most vulnerable groups, they must learn from early age about the risks in order to have a better chance to save their lives during dangerous situations. In this context, the FORETELL project exploits innovative technology-based learning strategies aiming to provide awareness, knowledge and develop essential skills necessary to cope with natural hazards, such as floods and fires. To this aim, flood and fire situations have been simulated and implemented as interactive educational games in an online 3D virtual world. The educational games have been designed according to scenarios of good practices in case of flood or fire. During the games the players are prompted to explore the virtual environment, interact with it, collect information, collaborate with peers, in some cases, and finally use their gained knowledge and critical thinking to resolve the dangerous situations. The online 3D virtual learning environment is attractive and suitable for children aged 8-15, fully supports English, Greek, Italian, Bulgarian and is accompanied with comprehensive User Handbook and explanatory videos. Additionally, the FORETELL project aims to empower the profile of the teaching professions to adopt novel approaches in teaching, providing teachers with open digital educational material about floods and fires which has been developed in the context of the project.The FORETELL consortium was set according to the objectives of the project and the required partners’ expertise to successfully carry out the planned activities. More specifically, the consortium consists of four partners from four European countries (Greece, Italy, Malta, Bulgaria). The partners act in the fields of Higher Education, ICT technologies and immersive learning, civil protection and citizenship empowerment of children. In detail the partners are: 1) Hellenic Open University in Greece (Project Coordinator),2) FELCOS Umbria, a non-profit association composed of Local Authorities and public, private and associative actors, which carries out activities for awareness raising and global citizenship education in Italy,3) Fire Safety and Civil Protection Directorate General in Bulgaria, 4) University of Malta, Faculty of Education & Institute of Digital Games.The implementation phase of the project as well as the dissemination and publicity activities that took place in all partner countries engaged a large number of direct and indirect target groups, such as members of schools associations, students and their families, educators, university students of Education Faculties as future educators, stakeholders focused on civil protection awareness and citizenship empowerment, public educational bodies, etc. The 3D virtual learning environment of FORETELL is scalable and open, so new languages and new scenarios could be added. The educational material of FORETELL is uploaded on a Moodle site so as to be open and available to public. All key outcomes and videos of the project, as well as the links to the registration page of the 3D virtual learning environment and the Moodle site, are freely accessible through the project web site (http://foretell.eap.gr/index.php/en/) and YouTube channel.
