2025 Comenius International Week

Serious games: creativity and innovation in education

From May 5th to 9th, 2025, come to Lausanne and experiment with games as a means of learning, socialising and expression for pupils.

Learn about playing, learning and child development; how to teach sustainability and nature conservation through games; how to create games accessible to all and; about digital games as teaching tools. A forum to exchange ideas with game designers and students/teachers who have used or created games will allow you to discover or share about this a rich and multi-faceted topic.
