GameOn: Competence development through game design process

Inhalt

Game design may become an excellent opportunity for involved people to develop their personal and social competences.
﻿
In this activity, you can get some ideas on what other competences and how people can develop through involvement in the game design process. Visit other activities of the playlist “GameOn: Competences for inclusive game design”  to build your understanding of competence development and their recognition through the game design process.
﻿
Complete this activity by getting familiar with the competences in demand for life and cross-checking them with competences developed through the game design process.

Competences developed through game design
During the GameOn good practice mapping phase, we asked 23 facilitators of game design. We interviewed extensively 10 of them in the podcast “Unfolding Game Design", where we got to know more about what skills people involved in the game design process develop. 
﻿
Depending on a specific game design model (learn more about models by visiting activities of the playlist “Game design models”), involved people may develop the following competences.
﻿
Now, remember what competences are in high demand and cross-check them in the list below:
