Name of institution: Dom Szkoleń i Doradztwa
Type of the organization: - Education and training organisation
Thematic scope of the project: - Access to employment and social inclusion
Problems to be solved (justification of the need of the transnational cooperation): General idea:
Level of professional activity of people under 25 years old is far from being satisfactory and is a significant social problem in Poland.
Main objective of our project is to support this group and create opportunity for them to enter labour market.
We want to achieve this objective by creating MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) educational game that would help young people to obtain most basic professional skills expected by employers. We chose this method because game based learning is very promising and dynamically growing tool for educators.
When created, the game would be popularized among young people and employers. For young people it would be entertaining way to obtain new skills, for employers it would be opportunity to find valuable employees among players.
We are planning to apply with this project to Human Capital Operational Programme in Priority VI, as “Innovative testing project”
The project would be implemented in Silesia, Poland (NUTS 2 PL22) for about 200 beneficiaries (young people) and 15 companies.
Areas of cooperation:
• We are seeking for companies experienced in e-learning and game-based learning areas to exchange e-learning technologies, “know how” of creating educational games and to cooperate in preparing final product
more specifically: taking part in conferences, cooperation in creating product strategy, employees exchange, technologies sharing, conducting research and creating research reports
• Companies/NGOs experienced in professional activation of young people for exchanging good practices in this area
Added value:
Exchanging technologies and good practices, that in order to provide high quality product to beneficiaries.
