Erasmus+ project SG4Adults developed a serious game to learn entrepreneurial skills: Biz-e-bee.
Biz-e-bee was used as a game-based learning method during the International Social Innovation Competition for Students and Adult learners (I-Sics) in Hungary in August 2016.
Non-formal learning according to the CEDEFOP definition is "Learning which is embedded in planned activities not explicitly designated as learning.
Facing a group of young and motivated entrepreneurs, who were brave enough to start-up their own business, is quite challenging when dealing with informal education.
The Youth Entrepreneurial Service (YES) Foundation piloted Biz-e-bee in the capital city in Skopje, in Macedonia, during a training course on entrepreneurship for integrating unemployed young people.
All of the piloting sessions took place during April and May 2016, namely, the project team leader CVO Antwerpen was the first to pilot Biz-e-bee in Belgium.
'SG4Adults' project final conference and official launch of the serious game Biz-e-bee took place on the 3rd of June 2016, in Antwerp, Belgium.
You are invited to the launch of the serious game Biz-e-bee in Antwerp, Belgium.
Each of us has surely had the experience of playing different games in his or her life. But how many times did we still think about a specific game? Why was it created? How was it designed? Who first used it?
On Friday the 3rd of June 2016, the serious game Biz-e-bee is launched in Antwerp (Belgium).
During my days as a student, it would happen sometimes that we'd play Risk all night long, diluted generously with some kind of local beer. I have mostly good memories of this time. Bread and games, sometimes you don't need more than that.

While scouting useful reading materials some of 'SG4Adults' team members, came across whitepaper 'Introduction to Gamification' by author Piet van den Boer.
