We also developed a workshop concept to embed the simulation game into discussions about important core skills needed for employability like communication, team work and problem solving skills.During this meeting participants from Egypt, Germany, Georgia, Italy, Portugal and Spain tested the simulation ‘Frustralia’ and made adjustments. They also got to know more about topics of identity and employability. During the seminar different creative methods were used, such as simulation game and forum theatre. The meeting was also a good platform for networking and future coopertions. We also got to know more about best practices in policy making by some European countries like Germany and Austria to decrease youth unemployment by supporting vocational training and the apprenticeship system for example. By the end of the three day seminar the outline of the Manual was developed and the game was finalized.
