Abstract

The traditional dietary habits of people in the Mediterranean basin are associated with longevity and a lifestyle characterized by low stress level, conviviality, regular physical activity, connection with culture and nature. In this research, an augmented reality game was developed for mobile devices aiming at improving students' knowledge about the Mediterranean lifestyle in the valley of Aethonas in Rhodes. To develop the game, the participatory method was applied to ten high school students and two teachers. The results were encouraging, as students improved their knowledge and were engaged in learning throughout the educational process.
