The document provides information about the BEACONING project, which aims to break down educational barriers through contextualized, pervasive, and game-based learning. The 36-month project has 15 partners across 9 European countries and a budget of €5,902,772.13. It seeks to develop an adaptable learning platform that leverages technologies like mobile learning, gamification, and learning analytics. This platform will be implemented and validated through large-scale pilots to explore how engagement, knowledge acquisition, and skill transfer can be improved for learners.
