Project Summary

The proposed project is aimed at increasing the educational potential of four European organisations: MODE Foundation (Poland), IFOM (Italy), Pistes Solidaire (France) and Coobra (Austria) by exploring the subject of gamification. It is a relatively new, yet immensely popular trend that has found its way into training and management processes of numerous entities, including some of the world’s largest businesses.

By providing our staff with a chance to learn about exploiting gamification for educational purposes, we wish to significantly increase the effectiveness of our activities. We also intend to immediately utilise the newly gained knowledge in our work with adult learners who participate in international initiatives.

The competences to be gained by our trainers can be divided into three main areas: 1) multicultural education and mobility preparedness; 2) specialised education; 3) personal development, also with the use of e-learning tools. Each subject will be explored during a short-term training course, where participants will exchange their knowledge and develop common standards for effective use of gamification in a given area. This will lead to the creation of a competence map that will facilitate the formulation of future plans and strategies for subsequent initiatives.

As seen by the partners, the project neatly fits into our development philosophy, as it entails following top global trends in education, while maintaining cost effectiveness in the pursuit of broadening our competences. It will make use of partners’ own resources. Upon the completion of the project, we will implement the newly gained competences without the need for additional funding. All the while, we will noticeably increase the effectiveness of our educational activities addressed at adult learners.
