Stand by Me Game: An awareness and critical thinking tool about autonomy and growing up.

Welcome to the Stand by Me world: an oddly shaped planet with imperceptible borders where every resident, at the age of 16 years old, leaves his/her home and families to face extraordinary adventures and challenges with their superpowers.

This scenario applies daily to boys and girls leaving the alternative care system and that are asked to face and cope with the challenges of autonomy earlier than their peers. This free and downloadable game is an awareness and critical thinking tool about autonomy and growing up, built through a participative process thanks to the Stand by Me European project. The game applies to boys and girls but also to the adults going along with them.

Stand by Me is a project for the development of a Working Protocol shaping pathways for children age-ing out of alternative care. This transnational project, co-funded by the European Union, implemented in 4 European countries: Italy, Romania, Cyprus and Sweden. The project intends to shape and enable pathways for boys and girls, involved in different types of judicial proceedings, who are leaving protection and reception systems (care-leavers). Through the participatory design of tools and working methods, the project intends to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the procedures to support young people’s transition to autonomy, involving them in the process of design and implementation of the mechanisms to be adopted.
