The player must steer the car avoiding the potholes, and collecting the repairs (tools icon). Each tool collected will trigger a multiple choice question. Answering the question correctly increases the score multiplier. Answering wrongly decreases the multiplier back to one. Crashing also results in a decrease in the multiplier. The aim is to reach the end with the highest score possible! The game is available in English, Italian and Greek.

The Getting There game focuses on Dealing with feelings (self-control, self-esteem, anger and stress management), Employment Rights and Responsibilities, and Getting and keeping a job. These correspond to elements from the following parts of the CodeRED (http://codered-project.eu/) curriculum:

Unit 1 - Personal Development

Unit 2 - Personal Hygiene

Unit 4 - Work Preparation and Sustainability

Unit 5 - Keeping your Job

Unit 6 - Starting Work

The Europe 2020 strategy identifies drop out from i-VET or early school leaving (ESL) as a key challenge to meeting employment targets. High rates of ESL are detrimental to making lifelong learning a reality and increase the risk of unemployment, poverty and social exclusion. ESL is over-represented among pupils with disabilities (61%), emotional/behavioural problems and migrants.

Code RED is an exciting European project that has been developed in response to these high levels of early school leaving and drop-out and exclusion from education that often lead to unemployment, poverty and social deprivation. The project aims at working with these groups of students who are particularly at risk of exclusion from education or drop out. Therefore, the main aim of the project is to take actions towards addressing the high proportion of drop-out from i-VET (vocational and educational training).
