The PLENTIS project would like to help you learning if you are a student, or help you teaching if you are a teacher/trainer in the form of games. The partnership of this project offers a set of online educational minigames in the topic of agricultural entrepreneurship in order to develop the entrepreneurial skills and competences of students of this vocation.
According to the Lisbon Strategy, one of the 8 key competences is the competence collection for entrepreneurship. As entrepreneurship cannot be identified as one competence, but as a set of competences, the PLENTIS project aims to develop an online educational platform, which is basically a gamified competence development land (literally), with actual content (knowledge base) and individual games to help teachers and students develop those skills and competences essential for entrepreneurship.
This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.

The Plentis project is funded by the European Commission’s Erasmus + programme. The project started in September 2014 and lasts for 2 years. The main field of the project is to develop an online game based learning platform and a supporting teachers’ handbook in the topic of agricultural entrepreneurship development.
The project is realized by an international partnership with various backgrounds (see more in: Partners)

You are a student or trainee studying entrepreneurship and/or agriculture in vocational school, and would like to develop your competences in this topic. If you are tired of reading textbooks, trying to memorize the most important attributes of entrepreneurship, then this is your place to practice and challenge your knowledge and competences in a game based learning environment | You are a teacher and you lack methods or tools to effectively teach entrepreneurship skills to your students. If you are looking for an educational tool, to spice up your classes, and ensure that your students really understand the basic competences for entrepreneurship, and you would like to provide some gamified practical lessons… this is your place | And for you if you would like to play a few games, while acquiring new knowledge on agricultural and entrepreneurial competences. |

The schools are closer than 40km from the central building (located in the X. district of Budapest). All of our schools have student-dormitories, this way we can provide good conditions for students from the countryside. Our centre has a very active international life. Every year, we take part in the Erasmus+ student mobility and innovation transfer programs. In the last 2 years Bercsényi school was a host partner for a Spanish university and Spanish students spent 3 months practical training in our school. We are a member of the EUROPEA organization what gives us good opportunities to know the newest education methods. We would like to improve our international network and would like to find new partners for the future programs. This year we had cooperation with Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Finland, UK, Ireland and Estonia. We had programs for the students and for the teachers as well.

Learning by playing is actually a form of learning by doing. There are numerous studies (see links below) suggesting that indeed there are topics, subjects etc that can be better acquired by practicing, and not just reading over and over. This method is not a magic. We just have to remember when we were little children we barely sat down to learn but were playing all day long. Why not to continue learning by playing as an adult? Of course not the same way, but with the use of well structured educational games. With the use of such games (online or offline) participants can experience risk without real danger. These kind of games can make the player curious about a given topic, and as the learning process happens unconsciously, the player is not focusing or stressing on learning, but enjoying the game. Educational games are especially useful in the field of competence development Experts suggest that games based learning approaches can provide a number of benefits, such as: Motivating learners to succeed and to continually improve There are counter-opinions that say games are just not the tool for learning, for knowledge transfer. Of course when using or even designing educational games one must be well aware of the topic and the target groups needs and possibilities. |
Message to the players Coming up |
Some advice to the teachers Coming up |
The main product of the Plentis project is the Agropoly online serious game platform. This is a virtual place which reunites the fun of playing with games and usefulness of learning entrepreneurial skills and competencies for students of agricultural sector. If these students are open or plan to start their own business in the future, they will already have an idea about real life situations as well as they get an idea about their competencies to be developed. |
The game itself has a frame story serving as a starting point to give them motivation to perform well and achieve points. This framework is about building up their own enterprise depending on their collected points they earn based on their correct answers; this way it will presumably motivate them to solve as many tests as possible. Besides the tests – based on different types of game engines – real life simulations, decision trees can also be found (and played) on the platform. The platform contains 6 knowledge bases, covering the important topics of agricultural entrepreneurship and the essential competences belonging to it. 8-10 minigames belong to every knowledge center, with the aim of developing the competences. |
The achievements of the players will be honoured by a pointing system. The points can be used to purchase different objects and placed individually on this forsaken land, making their gaming area more personalised. The players can compare their progress through these objects and the development of the piece of land each of them own. |
