What is Edugaming?

Edugaming is an open concept. It’s the name which we are using to unify our activities related with usage of games in non-formal education.
There is a lot of space inside! Inside you can find various types of games, like board games, card games etc. which were developed in multiple purposes. Some of them had clearly educational aims and some others were more connected with entertainment and joy. 

Edugaming is also strictly connected with education. In this concept we also train youth workers and youth trainers about gamification, game-based learning, experiential learning and other metodologies connected with usage of games in education. In one of our projects we also implemented long-term 3-stage training of trainers in the topic of usage of games in experiential learning.

Why we do that? We are passionate about experiential learning and about games.

That’s all 🙂
