The Introduction Journey to the Game Development for NEETs

The project is developed through face-to-face and/or hybrid workshops and courses introducing video game development (use of engines such as Unity or accessible game builders, design of simple mechanics and narratives). Participants are organised into project teams to design and prototype small video games or mini-games, following a flipped classroom methodology and collaborative work guided by trainers and tutors in software development or digital art. Game demonstrations and presentations are carried out by the young people themselves to other groups, educators and employment agents, to reinforce public confidence and positive social perception of their work. Partners share materials, methodologies and experiences in transnational meetings and training activities, and document the process so that it can be replicated by other youth centres and NGOs.
