Edu Boards: Exploring Educational Board Games

Training Course

10-18 September 2019 | Estonia

The training promotes the use of game-based learning methods in youth work and explores educational board games through training youth workers to assess learning needs of young people, adapt game-based learning methods and develop table-top games.

The training aims to promote the use of game-based learning methods in youth work and explore application of educational board games through training youth workers to assess learning needs of young people, adapt game-based learning methods and develop table-top games in correspondence with them.

The project sets next objectives:

  • To discuss youth trends in participants countries and extract current learning needs from participant's working experience with youth;
  • To introduce game-based learning for youth workers/ youth leaders to incorporate in own work;
  • To explore board games and their possible adaptation to serve as educational tools;
  • To introduce board games as a tool for involvement of young people and explore successful examples of the use of board games in youth work;
  • To equip participants with methods for idea development and learning design that is transferrable to socially relevant topics;

The training course will be intense and will include 4 practical sessions of 90 minutes per day with designated 60 minutes of reflection. The training is designed to produce physical results (designed board game concepts), so there will be very little free time during the week with optional times in the evenings to work in groups. The training program will cover introduction to game-based learning, board game development principles, practical sessions on creating own game concepts, testing the concepts, documenting games and reflecting on the application of such methodology in youth work. As a result we foresee to create several board game concepts and test them with young people.
