    How educators can run gaming workshops to help build social capacity and support wellbeing in their own schools.

    Next Level Collaboration is an innovative, research-based program designed to support social capacity for children and teenagers with social-emotional and neurological learning differences.

    Adopting a strengths-based approach, Next Level Collaboration workshops use age- appropriate, co-operative video games as a tool to teach collaborative teamwork skills that are important for all of us in life, such as giving instructions, asking for help, and providing feedback.

    Following a successful pilot of the program throughout 2021 and 2022, the founders have developed a training program designed for teachers and education support staff interested in how they can use games-based social capacity building sessions to support students in their own classes and schools.

    The training program will provide in-depth instruction and resources for all aspects of the Next Level Collaboration program, from set up through to running the workshops, with ongoing support after training concludes.

    Next Level Collaboration, which is proudly supported by the University of Melbourne, will pilot the Teacher Training Program in partnership with Digital Learning and Teaching Victoria throughout 2023, offering discounted registration fees for Digital Learning and Teaching Victoria members for the initial pilot program.

    If you are keen to find out more about a social capacity building program that is both effective, engaging and fosters a sense of belonging for the young people involved, we are looking forward to hearing from you.

    Training is excellent value for Digital Learning and Teaching Victoria members, including two in-person workshops, eight ‘bite sized’ online modules and access to a community of practice. To find out more visit our website. https://nextlevelcollaboration.com/our-team/
