INNOVET Multiplier Event, Romania, December 2023

On the 14th of December, we had the pleasure of welcoming many guests to the multiplier event of the Erasmus+ project INNOVET – Game-Based Learning: Innovative e-learning pedagogies for VET educators. Teachers and representatives of educational institutions from Constanta county, Romania met the project team to learn about the latest education techniques developed within Erasmus+ projects.

The event started at 14.00 with the opening speech of Prof. Dr. Violeta Ciucur, Rector of the Constanta Maritime University, the host of the event. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nicoleta Acomi, project manager of the INNOVET project spoke about the opportunities of the Erasmus programme and lifelong learning, with examples from the implementation of the INNOVET project. The results of the INNOVET project were explained, including the series of good practices of game-based learning collected throughout the project. Afterwards, the educational ecosystem developed together with the national and international project partners was shown. Among the results:

• “Game-based solutions analysis for digital learning environments”
• “Game-based Learning Programs”
• “INNOVET digital education ecosystem”

During the conference, participants discussed the inclusion of games in classes and the knowledge and abilities required to create game-based experiences for learners. In response to the need to integrate game-play into classes, Nicoleta Acomi presented an online course which is available with self-registration on the INNOVET digital education ecosystem. Moreover, participants were provided with access to the Erasmus community of teachers using game-based learning and with the steps to actively share games among the community.

Willing to offer examples of the application of game-based learning for the courses included in VET students’ curricula, Nicoleta Acomi promoted the Efficient Communication and Business Lab online courses.

Concluding the event, the feedback received confirmed that the project was a resounding success, bringing together relevant stakeholders to explore innovative e-learning pedagogies.
