Dedicated to 2ndary level school and university students, to young unemployed and to all the related stakeholders. Follow us on www.play4guidance.eu

Matteo Uggeri, Stefano Menon
Fondazione Politecnico di Milano
9-12 June 2015, Barcelona

2. Background and introduction
• ERASMUS+ program, KA2 – Multi target project
• From 09/2014 to 08/2017
• Given an interesting business game, how to make of it a European
learning and guidance tool?
• The business game has been used several times at local level with
success. Why not to open to new borders?
• The partnership can count on pedagogues and IT developers from
universities, communication agencies, industrial associations.
• P4G aims at creating a new online business game useful to high
school, HEI students and unemployed both in terms of training
and guidance on entrepreneurial, transversal and mathematical
skills.

4. Questions and Offerings
• Achieved: 27 main competences selected through more than 50 literary
resources analysed, 133 people engaged in 15 focus groups in 5 different
countries, more than 900 surveys.
• Now working on the BG engine, Evaluation tool and toolkit.
• Next: 1 year of tests with different target groups: stakeholder first,
students and unemployed later to define a new innovative training
model. >500 p. involved. At the end: international competitions!
• Question:
– The matrix: how to weight competences (importance) among different
countries / cultures? And with different targets?
– How to introduce the game as a “daily tool” in school programs?
• Sharing: Any other online game-based experience? Do you wish to
take part to test-actions? Any interest in joining the use of the game in
schools, in candidates selection, in Work Based Learning contexts?
