Next Level Collaboration uses carefully selected cooperative video games as a tool to build specific social and collaborative teamwork skills. Combined with explicit teaching, these games create the conditions to develop these skills in a real-life, interest-based context to support their success. Children learn the meaning of these skills, what they look like, why they are important, and the situations in which they can use these skills.
Participants attend weekly 90-minute in-person sessions at our location in Melbourne, Australia for 8 weeks during school terms. During sessions, participants are guided through our three-stage process to work together and not only build their collaborative teamwork skills, but also a sense of belonging with other gamers like them.
