Online workshops

There can be many reasons that workshops cannot be held online. Therefore, since “The Gamification of Employment” is working on imagination and creativity, we have devised new workshops to be able to do from home, with which important skills are also worked to improve the employability of the participants. Below you can find the most important ideas to apply them.

Games chosen to improve participants’ competitions

Final reflection

Once the workshops are finished, you will be able to make a final reflection with which to check which have been the most relevant impressions of the participants, what they have learned, etc.

Tips for educators

Below, you can find a series of tips that will help you, as educators, apply both board games satisfactorily. Important ideas appear in the image so that both participants and educators consider before starting the workshops. In addition, the main ideas that our participants have shown at the end of the two games are also included. We hope it will help!
