The expertise and experience of the consortium on all topics of the project (youth entrepreneurship education, youth employability, active citizenship) as well as its methodologies (non-formal education, gamification) have been taken into consideration while creating AGATE project.

AGATE – “A Gamified Approach to Youth Entrepreneurship Education” project fosters entrepreneurial competences of youth in Europe by promoting a gamified approach in education. 

The AGATE project features international mobilities and local capacity-building activities:

  • An international training course for youth workers about youth entrepreneurship education and gaming for learning
  • The development of board games fostering entrepreneurship competences, and the publication and dissemination of the games on an online platform
  • Piloting of the AGATE games with youth workers over an international training course in Setubal and with young people over a youth exchange

 

Our Approach

The following educational principles are applied in the project: 

  • Learner centred: content and methods of activities are tailored to learners’ needs.
  • Holistic: the learning process addresses learners as a whole, from their personality, values, perspectives, knowledge’s, etc. 
  • Practical: gaming, simulations and other experiential tools for learners to learn by doing.
  • Inclusion: the project welcomes all youth, especially those with fewer opportunity 
  • Voluntary: the project fosters an active and voluntary participation of the learners.
