What is the EASIE project?

We aim to develop a new esport-in-education pedagogical methodology.

With a focus on general adult education and VET educations, the approach of the project proposes to increase social inclusion and creativity as well as digital and entrepreneurial competencies.

Together with our advisory board, the project will validate and disseminate the project results in a format which is easily and practically transferable and adaptable to other educational organisations regardless of nationality, educational system or academic level.

The managerial approach

In order to implement an esport approach to education, it requires a cultural change as well as a new approach at management level.

The project provides guidelines for local implementation, both regarding organisational strategy, infrastructure and involvement of all levels of staff – including the essential commitment at a managerial level.

The didactic approach

To implement the new methodology in class, teachers must be trained in esport to enhance their own digital and professional competencies.

Through this training teachers will be able to acknowledge, define and explore the possibilities of using esport as a pedagogical strategy and method. It will also strengthen the teachers’ ability to engage their students, both in and out of the classroom – and by that, enhance the students’ social inclusion and competencies.

As part of our free accessible resources we provide a wide range of peer reviewed learning designs to use directly as is, or as an inspiration for developing your own adaptations.
