On the weekend of 12-13 September 2026, Dracon RDS attended the convention of Gamexpo 2026, conducting the Multiplier event for project Game Design for Education (GDE 2025-1-EL01-KA210-VET-000357836) of the Erasmus+ Programme.
The Multiplier event was held with a pannel of mr. Vangelis Bagiartakis, a known game designer from our project partner Hegemonic Project Games, and mr. Lari Pitkäkangas from Spelens hus.
The attendees were given an introduction to the activities and scope of the project, and finally they were given a walkthrough of the resulting Handbook.
The pannelists spoke both before the handbook's presentation, presenting their thoughts and expectations of it from their points of view, as well as after the presentation, commenting on the potential usefulness and the practical uses the handbook has. Mr. Bagiartakis spoke of the usefulness for the game designer wishing to adopt the educational, inclusion and socialization aspect in their designs, while mr. Pitkäkangas presented the viewpoint of the uses to a community manager and the effectiveness of the potential products via the use of the handbook to community building and bonding.
Lastly, mr. Pitkäkangas presented the work done in Spelens hus, their successful creation Malmö Game Week, and their latest project BISGIS aiming to promote youth inclusion and prevention of marginalization via games.

Of course, such an event cannot go without "behind the pannel" meetings and discussions. Dracon's work, and our latest projects , Playcracy project, , as well as best practice awarded such as Green Chef culinary education game, TeachBlue and others were discussed with representatives of key organizations and businesses in the industry, such as , , , , and many more!
As Dracon, we would like to extend our thanks to the organizers and crew for their initiative and the invite, as we continue our work to promote the use of board games as tools in socializations, inclusion, and of course, education.
