On July the 17th CEIPES hosted the Multiplier Event of The Factory of Ideas (2021-1-ES02-KA220-YOU-000028576) at its headquarters in Palermo, gathering like-minded participants to discuss the benefits of social entrepreneurship in light of the post-pandemic period. The event started with a general introduction of the scope of the project and a reflection on how social entrepreneurship can shape the future of youth when handled with the right tools. It was a fruitful moment as some of the people attending were entrepreneurs themselves and had the pleasure to discuss the challenges and opportunities arising from the digital era and the gamification methods.
The event continued through the explanation of the material developed, accessible to the wider public and specifically was focused on:
- The illustration of the best practices on social entrepreneurship found in the partners’ countries – Italy, Spain, Portugal and Romania
- The complete toolkit on the main themes of the project’s research: Entrepreneurship, Fundraising, Creativity, Dissemination and Gamification.
- The development of five interactive videogames based on the above-mentioned topics, hosted in the learning platform available on the project’s website.
The learning platform has proved to be a powerful teaching tool both during the pilots held with students and during the Multiplier Event, as many questions focused on its material and internal development.
The success was inevitable, as partners and participants saw space for further actions and future projects alike! The method of gamification is a new reality paving the way to a new way of learning, and we will surely take more initiatives in this direction in the coming future.
