The Play-Create-Learn Summer Academy 2018 is a flexible modular professional development course consisting of:

1. a core element on the basic concepts, methods and options for playful, game-based learning and creativity in education; and
2. a selection of practical case studies for participants to choose from in order to build their own path from the theory to teaching practice and adapt their training to their own interests and teaching realities.

Each case study offers insights into the research and innovative teaching activities taking place in the context of successful European projects and international initiatives, namely:

• The C2Learn case study: Games for co-creativity in education
• The eCrisis case study: Game-based inclusive education in times of crisis
• The ENVISAGE case study: Game analytics and authoring to enhance learning in virtual labs
• The GAIA case study: Playful and data-based pursuit of energy efficiency in schools
• The Unity for Education case study: Students and teachers as creative game makers at schools.

Each case study will include practical collaborative workshops and hands-on sessions which will facilitate participants to design their own teaching practices, turning the inspiration from the case study into a scenario for educational activities in their own teaching context.
