During these sessions, he shared his experience on best practices in educational game design, as well as innovative strategies for energizing learning and fostering participant engagement.

"The trainer, John Kenwright, was very kind and helpful, offering us clear and captivating presentations on the design of these games. He also showed us how to integrate them effectively into our French as a Foreign Language courses or specialized French courses. What I particularly appreciated was that we all had the opportunity to create our own serious game, by clearly defining our pedagogical objectives. It was a very enriching experience.
