SIGE – Social Inclusion Through Gamification in education is an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership project coordinated by ELA which aims to explore the educational potential of Gamification and game-based learning as an innovative instrument for enhancing active participation, engagement and inclusion in education and in society.
The main objective of the project is to support the social inclusion of low skilled adults with a migrant background or belonging to a minority by contributing to the development and increase of a flexible blended gamified learning offer. The project aims additionally to empower adult educators to use Gamification and game-based learning to deal with diversified groups and improve the quality of their teaching practice. |

The course will be implemented at the local level in each partner country.
