Summary:

The aim of this project is to promote the employment of unemployed youth by increasing the number of professionals in the video game industry in Europe. The project will propose the basic elements that will contribute to the serious development of the video game industry, taking into account aspects of social awareness, such as inclusive environments and environmental sustainability issues. The project will also promote digital transformation to improve the cross-sector skills needed by the industry, and specifically encourage women to join the video game industry as professionals.

Activities:
The consortium, which consists of 6 multidisciplinary partners from 5 different countries, will organize four international meetings and organize short-term trainings in cooperation with vocational education training experts to achieve the goals of the project. At the end of the project, all partners will hold seminars to reach 1,000 registered users on the newly created digital platform SPOOC (Self-Paced Open Online Course) and promote the video games developed within the project and the learning platform PLE (Personal Learning Environment), which will allow continuing learning after the training is completed. The 20 serious mini-video games created as part of the project will promote the awareness of "green" in the wider society.
