Method presentation
Real Game is composed of a series of six interactive learning programmes meant to make
a close connection between classroom activities and real life, and at the same time
facilitate the exploration of career development. In other words, it represents a
programme built as a game, so as to bring real life into the classroom and/or counselling
session. This work modality targets the awareness and expression of one’s own
aspirations regarding the future personal and professional life. The content of activities
greatly depends on the spontaneity and creativity of the counsellor.
The purpose of the game: acquiring and developing the necessary competences for the
development of one’s personal career.
The objectives of the programme allow clients to:
- know the way in which already acquired competences and knowledge are
directly related to future work roles, and how by practicing new development
opportunities arise; - discover personal aptitudes and competences regarding life and work roles in
positive and efficient interaction with others; - develop a positive and realistic self-image;
- explore financial management and become aware of the link between
education and training, income and lifestyle aspects (e.g. availability for
family, community, and leisure); - work in a team to solve problems, make decisions, stimulate communication
competences, and take on multiple roles in life and at work; - practice various roles at work and in the community, and discover those
issues that bring professional and personal satisfaction; - analyse events that were successful and convert adversity into opportunity;
- know the means of looking for a job, increase the efficiency of personal
marketing and time management; - use various decision-making means and techniques regarding work and other
aspects of personal life.
The principles of the game:
- Change is constant – we transform permanently, so does the world around
us, including the world of work. Since an employee will not be able to keep
the same job from the beginning to the end of professional life due to the
changes in the contents of the occupation itself and the dynamic of the labour
market, adaptability will be an important and necessary quality.
