The fifth and final Coordination and Development Meeting (CDM5) of the GameCRIT project took place in Padova, on March 10th and 11th, bringing together all project partners to mark the culmination of their collaborative work. The meeting focused on reviewing achievements, finalising outputs, and ensuring a strong and sustainable project closure.

This final meeting placed strong emphasis on the completion of financial reporting and budget control under WP1, confirming that all resources had been managed efficiently and in full alignment with the project’s objectives. Partners also carried out the final project evaluation and coordinated their contributions to the comprehensive final report.

Under WP2, the consortium presented and validated the final version of the framework and methodology, alongside the completed web content layout and translations. Particular attention was given to the integration of gamification and critical thinking into teaching and learning processes, ensuring both pedagogical quality and long-term sustainability of the results.

Regarding WP3, partners reviewed the completed WebAPP, focusing on its functionality, interactivity, and educational value. The results of the pilot phase were fully analysed and incorporated into the final version of the application. Final adjustments were confirmed, along with the development of user guides and tutorials to support effective implementation in educational environments. Sustainability strategies were also discussed to guarantee continued use of the WebAPP beyond the project’s lifecycle.

In WP4, dissemination activities were thoroughly assessed through reports and tracking tools. The project website was reviewed in its final version, and partners coordinated the implementation of final multiplier events aimed at maximising the project’s visibility and impact across the educational community.

The meeting concluded with a comprehensive reflection on the project’s outcomes, key achievements, and lessons learned. Final steps were agreed upon to ensure a successful closure, while reinforcing the partnership’s commitment to sustaining and expanding the impact of the GameCRIT project results in the future.
