The entire programme of the workshop is built on an Alternative Reality environment, to facilitate immersion and a proper understanding of the method.
In a SMARTer reformulation, “The Learning Games” aims to provide 10 learners with simple and balanced personal development tools, based on AVR methodology, that they can use to enhance professional development and link education and career.
