Laura Hokkanen: From Eureka to Action: Flipped Learning in Game Education for Youth Work
This session explores the course Game Education in Youth Work implemented at South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (XAMK). The course is designed as a “Eureka game”, inspired by the story of Archimedes. Its central aim is to develop functional solutions to nine real-life challenges provided by professional youth work partners. Students work in teams to design and prototype solutions using pedagogical approaches such as coding, urban adventure games, and educational escape rooms. Contact teaching is fully dedicated to collaborative, game-based problem solving, while theoretical backgrounds are studied in advance through pre-recorded materials in accordance with flipped learning pedagogy. The presentation introduces the pedagogical design of the course and reflects on practical experiences gained from implementing a flipped, game-based model in youth work education.
Laura Hokkanen is a Lecturer in the degree programme of Civic Activities and Youth Work at South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences. Her main fields of teaching are art education, media education and game education. Her academic background is in cultural studies, and she actively uses storytelling as a teaching tool.
Rosie Dempsey: UNI-CO
UNI-CO is a scalable digital ecosystem framework that reimagines academic mobility through sustainable, digital-first, and human-centric models. It enables students, staff, researchers, and industry partners to collaborate more frequently and meaningfully across institutions, without the constraints of traditional mobility.
By addressing key limitations such as cost, exclusion, travel dependency, and carbon impact, UNI-CO supports continuous, inclusive, and low-carbon collaboration across education, research, and industry.
Rosie Dempsey is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Creative, Performing Arts & Media at Munster Technological University.
