Civic Approach for Youth in Video Gaming
The Project
Welcome to our pioneering initiative aimed at enhancing civic engagement among European youth (8-30) through video games.
We have four core objectives:
1) Equip youth workers with knowledge on civic engagement and game mechanics.
2) Develop a guide on integrating video games into civic education.
3) Create a Serious Game focused on youth’s civic needs.
4) Assess the impact of the Serious Games in different socio-cultural contexts.
You are about to join an interactive, participatory, and engaging training program designed for youth workers interested in leveraging the power of video games for civic education. Open to participants from diverse cultural backgrounds, this 5-day course explores the positive impact of video gaming in fostering civic engagement among young people. It also delves into effective strategies for incorporating video games into traditional, non-digital activities. Through a blend of workshops, discussions, and participant-led research, the course offers a multi-disciplinary approach, touching on psychology, sociology, and anthropology to deepen our understanding of youth gaming practices.
Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate of active contribution, available both electronically and via postal mail. Additionally, course sessions are recorded and made available online, with extensive promotion to ensure that youth workers globally can enhance their expertise in this emerging field.
