The experience garnered from the eVITA project is used to explore the relation between Serious Games (SGs) and formal and informal learning. The eVITA project promotes and investigates pedagogy-driven innovation by defining and evaluating four different pedagogical approaches. In addition, it aims to facilitate knowledge-transfer mechanisms that integrate Game Based Learning with intergenerational learning concepts. Within the project framework, a set of games have been developed which aim to increase European cultural awareness by conveying the cross-border experiences of older Europeans, and the first part of the expert evaluation of the outcomes is presented here.
