Description
The training course “Game Zone” is organized by Association La Villa (FR), Shokkin Group (EST) and BE international (CZ) in Vieux-Boucaut (France), including 24 participants and 5 team members from 11 countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Greece, Malta, Poland, Portugal and Slovenia).
During the 8-day training course, we will discover how to use educational games as a method in youth work. We use various forms of games as a form of pedagogy in teaching and in non-formal education. Our main idea is that simulation and roleplay games are appealing and fun for everybody, making it ideal as a tool for educational work with youngsters.
The aim of the project is to equip youth workers and youth leaders with tools, frameworks and space to create and implement educational games that address social issues and can be applied in their environments.
