Chapter 1: Introduction

What you need to know about GameON

The high level of unemployment among young people in EU countries reflects the difficulties young
people face in finding a job, especially due to the COVID-19 crisis. Entrepreneurship is a key tool in

the fight against unemployment, as it serves as a double weapon. On the one hand, the person who

becomes an entrepreneur is no longer unemployed. And on the other hand, a successful

entrepreneur can even be able to hire employees, facilitating access to employment for other
citizens in need. However, many times young people do not believe entrepreneurship to be a path

they can take, as they find many obstacles to the successful starting of a business.

Learning digital business opens a new world of entrepreneurial possibilities with new businesses

and start-ups, increasing the focus on digital technologies and services. This way, acquiring
knowledge on those subjects offers young unemployed people a way of developing their own ideas

and the chance to achieve professional success.

GameON aims to help young unemployed people overcome key barriers and learn how to become

entrepreneurs. The project emphasises digital entrepreneurship, recognising that today’s young
people possess a natural edge in this domain due to their upbringing in a digital-centric

environment. GameON delivers training on digital business and entrepreneurship through these

guidelines and through the innovative approach of a video game.

GameON is an Erasmus+ project implemented by 6 partners in 4 European countries (Greece, Italy,
Poland, Spain).
