Description

“Gamifying Education: Board games” is the third and last training activity of a long-term strategic partnership dedicated to developing, sharing and promoting game-based learning practices as an efficient and innovative approach to learning and to make game-based learning more present in formal and non-formal education institutions.

More specifically, this training aims to:

  • Provide a deeper understanding of game-based learning and full understanding on how to use board game methods for educational purposes.
  • Equip participants to be able to transfer the acquired knowledge and skills into the work of organizations/institutions that they work in.
  • Test and feedback on a set of 5 educational board games, tweaking and polishing them so that they can be further tested by target groups of the participants and published in a concise manual.

Participants will have full grasp of the method set, understand game-based learning, how to use and to create educational games and will be able to use gained skills in the organizations they work in.
