Background

We applied for the DIGIAGE Erasmus+ project to meet the rising demand for skilled professionals in Türkiye's gaming industry, which has attracted $2.4 billion in investments over the past five years. The COVID-19 pandemic increased interest in digital content, As a result, we recognized a unique opportunity to prepare young people for careers in this expanding sector. The project aims to enhance their knowledge and competencies in areas such as cultural diversity, entrepreneurship, and intercultural learning, ultimately fostering their active participation in democratic life and promoting European values. Our project aims to equip young people with essential skills in cultural diversity, entrepreneurship, and intercultural learning while promoting active participation in democratic life and European values. Through Game Development Camps, the creation of educational toolkits, and the establishment of the International Game Development and Coding Academy, we will bridge the gap between theory and practice. By addressing the needs of aspiring game developers and providing the resources for success, we believe this project will significantly contribute to Türkiye’s gaming sector’s sustainable growth.
