About

Train2Game is a Training course funded by Erasmus+, aiming to empower participants to use games for social change and educational purposes by playfully unlocking their creative potential. Participants will learn through playing how to create their own games for their organizational needs and/or for creating social change. 

The program will guide participants step by step not only through technicalities like mechanics, dynamics, aesthetics and theories about player types and human desires but will also provide them with knowledge and skills in the fields of creativity, innovation, improvisation and storytelling. 

Through a variety of creative methods, interactive games, simulations, role plays, group and individual tasks, videos, art and drama activities, case studies, discussions, reflection time and brief theoretical inputs participants will discover, understand, develop, innovate and in the end create their own games.

The core elements of the training will be PLAY, PLAY and PLAY! 

The course is organized by the Informal Youthgroup of Egio and it is supported by Creative Youthland (CYOUland). 

It will take place in Egio, Greece from 18 to 26 April 2015.
