International Student Competition For Board and Digital Games Design

Recognising the current trends around game-centred learning and aiming at their implementation in the field of education, EKOME organises the International Student Competition for Board and Digital Games Design with the aim of promoting game-centred learning and collaborative creative activity in the school environment.

The Competition encourages the design of an original board or digital educational game linked to specific learning objectives in the context of a creative process. Through the active involvement of students, game creation contributes to the cultivation of a team spirit and the development of students’ creativity, critical thinking, imagination, digital literacy, computational and other skills. Students and teachers become familiar with game design, a dynamic professional and academic discipline that is experiencing rapid growth in the country and internationally.

The competition is addressed to schools and students of all classes of primary and secondary education schools in Greece, Cyprus and the Greek Diaspora. Students are invited to create, with the support of their teachers, an original educational board or digital game with themes related to the subjects taught.

The International Student Competition for Board and Digital Games Design is co-organized by the National Centre of Audiovisual Media and Communication – EKOME, the Ministry of Digital Governance, the Greek Association of Computer Engineers and the Hellenic Union of Graphic Arts and Μedia Technology Engineers – HELGRAMED, and is under the auspices of the Secretary General for Greeks Abroad and Public Diplomacy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as of the Region of Attica.
