"This training session provided me with a lot of theoretical and practical elements to approach the design and implementation of ludopedagogical projects. I will be able to put into practice what I learned at the bootcamp very quickly!"
"The bootcamp allowed me to reflect on my practices in a studious yet convivial atmosphere, enrich them by discovering new horizons, and foster new ideas."
"I thank the entire Gaming Lab team for this meticulously organised and high-quality training. I leave not only with an unforgettable experience but also with very useful resources and especially with the LOOP approach, tested and validated by the results of the game jam. Next action planned: Implementing the LOOP approach in our methodology for creating educational games to avoid as many pitfalls and illusions as possible in our future adventures!"
