Gamification is about applying game elements and (digital) game design techniques to non-gameproblems, such as the challenges climate issues pose to business and the related social impacts.Gamification is the hot new business concept being used by the world’s leading companies (Nike, Siemens, Dell, eBay, Cisco, etc.) Games are powerful tools and can engage users on a higher level. The workshop is designed to give you a deeper insight into gamification and co-creation processes.Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to use games and co-creation effectively in their field of work, reach and engage their target audience, and through the change in civic behaviour patterns achieve their objectives.

Course objectivesOn the the 2-day course, participants will

• gain insight into the basics of gamification, elements, mechanics and dynamics

• acquire skills enabling them to create a gamified solution to a chosen problem

• have an overview of the possible areas of use for gamification

• improve cooperation and co-creation skills by working in small groups

What we offer: We offer a very intensive training course which provides not only a deep insight into gamification theory, but also the opportunity to use it. Participants will discover not only the surface of the games in non-game purposes, but will also experience it. The biggest challenge will be to identify their own internal or external gamification purposes, set their goals and find out how to reach those goals using games.

To design your own game you first have to know what you want to achieve and have the right assumptions about your target audience. Whom do you want to convince? Why do you want to engage users? Who is already involved? Play with them, play for them! Learn how to do it!

Who can take part? Gamification is a powerful tool that can have a great impact not only in company life, but in city life as well. In order to create a city game which involves citizens in an extraordinary and effective way, all the stakeholders who provide services in a city need to know about the opportunities provided by gamification. For an efficient improvement of urban mobility, transport service providers and experts in urban mobility need to maximize citizens’ involvement and identify their motivation.

City descriptionBudapest is one of the “youngest” European capitals, though it has a history of more than a thousand years. Budapest belongs to the Central-Hungarian region, which has a core position in Hungary in in a geographic, economic and cultural sense. After the Ottoman Empire the union with Austria had a particular influence on the city’s form and style. The capital has two sides, Buda and Pest, stretching along the banks of the Danube and representing two different characters of the city.

Suburban Buda and its historic castle district feature medieval streets and houses, museums, caves and Roman ruins. The dynamic Pest side boasts the largest parliament building in Europe, riverside promenades, flea markets, bookstores, antique stores and cafés.

Budapest has a lot to offer. Museums and galleries, churches and synagogues, palaces and historic buildings, baths and pools are presented together with the influence of the Secession in the city.

There is an unmistakable feeling that something out of the ordinary is just around the corner, but what it will be is up to you to find out...
