Description of the initiative
This project is dedicated to conceptualisation and development of social competence in terms of training related to adult education, school curricula and professional development through the creation of serious games and other exercises that make use of ICT. A set of training materials on social competences and creativity using 3D scenarios, web and mobile games has been created in English, Bulgarian, German, Dutch, Turkish, Serbian & Lithuanian.
Learners will be faced with contextualised, unstructured problems and will be asked to investigate how social competence may help achieve meaningful solutions that feed directly into the game play. We are using a contemporary 3D gaming environment populated by user-driven characters, and non-player characters to create a range of realistic & engaging SC scenarios.
More Information
This methodology provides for the use of IT. Maybe an interesting approach, but it can not provide the understanding of complex topics.Can be used by teachers who do not work a certain school.Persons with special needs. Guidance counselors parents and other interested personas.Resource could be a little more scientific.
Teachers’ Opinion
Very good approach for individual tasks. Individuals gain new and strengthen already existing knowledge in a creative way. It keeps students focused therefore it is more efficient, especially when working with disadvantaged people. Site structure and existing materials is a good resource for all teachers.
Students’ Opinion
This game could helps me deal with my disadvantages and I’m now more confident.

Dissemination Seminar in Florence

31 October 2015 The seminar has been held in ITIS “A. Meucci” one of the schools involved within Goerudio project activities. Its main aim was to promote the results of the project toward a broad sample of stakeholders even overcrossing the number of people directly involved in the production of project outcomes. This purpose has been totally achieved especially thanks to the participation of students and teachers coming from different schools or from other classes instead of those ones directly involved within the project activities.
