Aim of the project

Over the last decade, significant changes have been observed in youth behaviors and expectations—a process that is both ongoing and transformative. Generations Z and Alpha, shaped by digital technology, seek interactive and engaging teaching methods.

The aim of this project is to develop and implement gamified educational methods that cater to the learning preferences of Generations Z and Alpha. By incorporating gamification, the project aims to make learning more motivating and effective, preparing youth for future challenges, e.g. the constantly evolving job market, while aligning with their fast-paced, multitasking lifestyles.

• Creating a platform for exchanging best practices and discussing innovative tools for working with Generations Z and Alpha.
• Conducting an online webinar with 150 indirect participants.
• Establishing long-term international collaborations among various stakeholders.

• Creating promotional materials and a project management system on Google Drive.

Expected results

• Increasing youth workers' understanding of the needs of Generations Z and Alpha, enabling them to implement new methods and tools.
• Enhancing knowledge of gamification as an educational tool for youth workers by 80%.
• Improving project management knowledge by 60% and developing guidelines for monitoring and evaluation.
• Developing the guide "Skills and Professions of the Future – A Guide for Youth", listing 50 future professions with essential skills and knowledge
• Developing the toolkit "Empowering Youth Through Gamification", featuring 100 workshop packages for soft skills training using gamification
