02/08/2022
The GIGA is excited to provide interested practitioners in democracy education with a first look at the results of the research project “Democracy and Games: Analogue and Digital Game-Based Learning Tools for Youth Work (DEMOGAMES).” The workshop offers insights into the educational tools, methods, and materials developed for the purpose of democracy education in formal and non-formal youth work.
Game-Based Learning Workshop
In a workshop – held on 2 August 2022 – we aim to introduce practitioners to the game-based learning tools developed in the DEMOGAMES project. The workshop takes place at the GIGA office in Hamburg, Germany, which is nicely located on the famous Binnenalster. It gives an overview of the game-based learning tools developed in the project, allow participants to try out some of the analog and digital games themselves, and provide those taking part with guidance and facilitation tips to implement these tools in their own settings.
Objectives of the Activity

Introduction to game-based learning in democracy education
Introduction to the Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture and how they can be trained using the eight games from the Democracy Game Box
