SIGE – Social Inclusion Through Gamification in education is an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership project coordinated by ELA which aims to explore the educational potential of Gamification and game-based learning as an innovative instrument for enhancing active participation, engagement and inclusion in education and in society.

​The main objective of the project is to support the social inclusion of low skilled adults with a migrant background or belonging to a minority by contributing to the development and increase of a flexible blended gamified learning offer. The project aims additionally to empower adult educators to use Gamification and game-based learning to deal with diversified groups and improve the quality of their teaching practice.

In order to reach the main objective of the project, the partnership will create and develop two Intellectual Outputs specifically designed for the target group and the adult educators working with low skilled adult students with a migrant background or belonging to a minority:

O1: Adult education course “Upskill through Gamification”

A blended course that aims to upskill and enhance the key competences of the target group, providing them a unique gamified learning opportunity and fostering their integration and inclusion into society and the labor market. The course will be implemented at the local level in each partner country.

O2: “SIGE Handbook ​for Adult Educators”

A manual to support adult education staff working with the target group in using game-based elements and apps in their teaching. The manual will deal with key principles, goals and aims of gamification and will report the lessons learnt and good practices from the first editions of the course "Upskill through Gamification".

​Training with Local Partners in Italy

In February, Erasmus Learning Academy trained the educators of its Italian Local Partner (Fomal) to discover the power of gamification applied to the topic of soft skills related to the labor market. 
Grateful for the enthusiasm of the educators for this gamified methodology and for the outcomes developed by the project, we are looking forward to discovering the power of gamification in improving soft skills! 

Research phase

The first activities carried out are the desk and field research to gain a better understanding of the national contexts and investigate the target group's educational needs and preferences. All partners submitted online questionnaires to low skilled adult learners and carried out interviews with the adult educators who will be involved in the next phases of the project.

Kick-off meeting ​

The kick-off meeting of the SIGE project took place online on January 27th and 28th.
