EGIDEV Project Empowers VET Educators and Learners During Second LTTA in Portugal

The second Learning, Teaching, and Training Activity (LTTA) of the EGIDEV project was successfully held in Arcos de Valdevez, Portugal, from 1 to 4 April 2025. Over the course of four intensive days, project partners engaged closely with local vocational education and training (VET) teachers and students in a dynamic programme designed to strengthen the integration of digital game-based learning into VET environments.

Throughout the activity, teachers received practical guidance from the EGIDEV project team on how to incorporate the educational game developed by the consortium into their teaching practices. This included interactive sessions, hands-on testing, and collaborative discussions. Students also actively participated, playing the game alongside their teachers and offering valuable feedback on its usability, educational value, and engagement potential.

The final day featured a local tourism showcase, highlighting cultural elements directly connected to the game’s content. This was followed by final evaluations and a certificate award ceremony, bringing the programme to a close in a spirit of collaboration and reflection.

The LTTA marked another important step in the EGIDEV project’s mission to innovate VET through playful, place-based digital tools that enhance both teaching and learning experiences.

EGIDEV Project aims to facilitate VET students and teachers in learning and teaching the principles of entrepreneurship by gamification in different business development stages. The objective is to develop, implement and provide the VET community with an educational game where learning by playing will allow for better understanding of digital entrepreneurship and challenges.
