VET: INCREASING ATTRACTIVENESS OF VET
Students prefer a game-based learning. EGIDEV is designed so that teachers can embed it into entrepreneurship curricula.
Thus, they can make lessons more attractive, useful and funny. The game will be distributed in Open Access format, it has potential to increase the attractiveness of VET for pupils, youth, people with fewer opportunities and adults in their life-long- learning journey.
VET: Contributing to innovation in vocational education and training
The game is innovative itself. It is designed as an Event-Driven-Process-Chain. The process approach allows to embed the game in any VET-school’s entrepreneurship curriculum, thus, spreading the innovation to VETs.
