MEGASKILLS: Brussels meeting conclusions

Dear stakeholders,

The MEGASKILLS consortium meet recently in Brussels to celebrate the work completed and goals achieved and plan the future steps.

We are happy to announce that we have completed the work on the first pillar that sustains the road to our goal of developing a methodology for the evaluation and training of soft skills, using commercial video games, supported by an intelligent soft skills assessment and certification platform. This was phase 1 of the project, consisting on the research work to identify the Key Soft Skills for 21st century Taxonomy and Models. Our readers can expect the publication of the reports later this year.

‍

Now starts phase 2, where the group will develop a psycho-pedagogical methodology for detection and training of soft skills with commercial video games. This phase will allow us to understand which games impact each of the key soft skills identified.
