Classrooms—both traditional and not—will
turn to project-based real-world
interactions for their students to hone their
problem-solving skills at a younger age.
These projects, framed as quests and filled
with game mechanics to hook student
engagement, will focus on working with real
people around the world and in their own
communities to solve local issues, often in
parallel with other regions and classrooms
around the world. These “glocal” quests will
focus on the connections between the global
and the local, recognizing the need to
reconcile local dynamics and social structures
with the global perspective.

Inspired by game mechanics and increased global connectivity, Catalysts for
Change players discussed ways to take advantage of current trends aimed at
re-envisioning education around the world.
They suggested breaking out of the classroom in order to connect students to
communities and older generations, building inter-generational knowledge and
cross-community empathy and awareness. Ideas ranged from simple mentorships
to global wikis allowing students from around the world to collaborate on projects.
Players even imagined guilds of students and professionals working together on
quests to solve real world issues and leveling up as they successfully solve
problems. 4
