Our Game Changers project continues!
Developing interpersonal skills using gaming psychology and game-based learning
With support from RBC's Future Launchfund, in 2019 we developed a series of interactive, play-based training modules to help job seekers develop the 21st Century soft skills sought after by local employers.
Based on gaming psychology and the theories of gamification, these 14 modules can be run as one continuous training course, or broken into shorter workshops focused on specific topics. The course begins with introducing the concept of games and play as a learning tool, and then provides facilitated lessons in, and interactive activities and games to reinforce, a series of critical interpersonal skills. Rounding up the course are modules on identifying local employer needs, and analyzing current strengths and areas for development. This course was built to both inform and engage, and weare excited to announce that RBC has renewed their commitment to this project. As a result, we will be piloting these modules over the summer!
Welook forward to sharing the results of the pilot, and training others on how to deliver this curriculum, in the year ahead.
