Game-based Learning

-- Description

In this training course, you will learn how to design workshops in a playful way and how to develop “serious games” for specific issues yourself.

Playful and creative workshop methods have a firm place in the agile canon of methods: they promote teamwork and help individual team members to interact better with each other, work together productively and learn sustainably. Agile principles can be vividly conveyed and processes improved through play.

Play can also be a gateway to intuitive knowledge and thus makes an important contribution to strategy or innovative strength in the company. It offers a safe framework for trying things out and allowing ideas that we do not yet consider feasible or possible in real life. It allows people to rediscover themselves and experience themselves in different roles and behaviors. It brings people into the moment as individuals and as teams, and if everything goes well, it awakens creativity and energy.
