Giocarsi: Gaming and Gamification in contesti professionali

Aim of the course

"Giocarsi" is the master organized by Laborplay, a spin-off of the University of Florence, for all those who want to acquire knowledge and intervention methodologies based on the use of playful devices and gamification in a professional context.

It is a training program that allows you to combine the concreteness of scientific knowledge with the innovation of daily field experiences. Furthermore, in line with the scientific literature, the use of gaming and gamification in personnel selection, training, and team-building contexts leads to better results compared to traditional techniques.
