Gamification Academy for Mastering Youth (GAMY)
From September 2025 to January 2026, the GAMY Project will unite young innovators from Türkiye and Macedonia in a bold, cross-border journey to harness the power of gamification for real-world change.
GAMY is more than a training programme - it is a launchpad for creative minds ready to transform ideas into impact. Through a blend of structured learning, practical application, and immersive collaboration, participants will master the principles and tools needed to design experiences that engage, motivate, and inspire.
The programme includes:
At its core, GAMY believes in the transformative potential of play. By merging digital skills with creative problem-solving, it empowers a new generation to reimagine how industries connect with people - turning passive audiences into active participants.
Across industries, gamification is reshaping how we learn, work, and engage:
GAMY takes these proven mechanics and applies them to social impact, empowering young people to tackle real challenges in ways that are engaging, measurable, and lasting.
It transforms the way we learn, work, and engage by tapping into the deepest human drives: curiosity, achievement, and connection. When designed with purpose and integrity, it turns passive participants into active changemakers, making every interaction meaningful and measurable.
The future belongs to those who can inspire action, sustain motivation, and create experiences that people want to return to. Gamification is how we get there.
Now is the time to play with purpose. Join us, and let’s design the game that changes the outcome.
