GAMIFICATION for adult trainers
This 4-day training course invites adult educators and trainers to discover how gamification can transform learning environments into engaging, motivating, and creative spaces. Participants will experience the power of play, explore the psychology of motivation, and design their own gamified activities to apply in classrooms, workshops, or community settings.
Through experimentation, collaboration, and reflection, participants will not only understand the theory behind gamification: they will live it.
Hosted by Media Creativa, the programme blends innovation, creativity, and educational design, helping educators make learning more participatory, inclusive, and fun.
