Description
When looking at employability skills desired in the current job market, we see the importance of effective communication, teamwork, creative thinking and problem-solving is increasing. However, this set of skills is hardly trained in the traditional school scene. Soft skills require a challenging environment that gives an opportunity to assess oneself and own behavior and they are developed through real life work and often through gaming techniques and methods. Quest games are one of these methods, involving a team of people working together in order to fulfill challenging mental, logical, at times physical tasks together under a specific time limit. With this training course we would like to discover connection of quest games with soft skills development.
“CreaTeamity” will be an international Erasmus+ training course organized by Shokkin Group Estonia. The main activity of the project will take place in Vihi (Estonia) during the period 15th-23rd May 2019, including 23 participants from Estonia, Czech Republic, Poland, Bulgaria, Malta, Sweden, Greece and Romania.
The training aims to provide youth workers & youth leader with tools, frameworks and space to create and playtest educational portable quest rooms and outdoor quests that foster soft skill development in young people.
Participant’s profile:
