Online workshops
There can be many reasons that workshops cannot be held online. Therefore, since “The Gamification of Employment” is working on imagination and creativity, we have devised new workshops to be able to do from home, with which important skills are also worked to improve the employability of the participants. Below you can find the most important ideas to apply them.

Tips for educators
Below, you can find a series of tips that will help you, as educators, apply both board games satisfactorily. Important ideas appear in the image so that both participants and educators consider before starting the workshops.
