Action Gamification!

Gamification is gaining popularity in education and public services in Western Europe. Finnish city authorities, for instance, use board games to increase civic participation and effectively plan public policies.

We invite students to a quick course of gamification in the academic year of 2023/2024! During eight workshop sessions, we will show you how you can use board and scenario games in political analysis and the development of career paths. You will be able to develop cooperation, negotiation or efficient time and resource management skills. Apart from that, it is an ideal occasion for board games fans to better understand the theory of mechanisms of board games.  

See you at the workshops! If you want to learn more, follow our Facebook page.
