Your missions

Your missions will be divided into four parts:

• Training in edutainment

• Network management

• Prospecting for new partners

• Drafting applications for calls for projects

Part of your role will evolve according to your motivation and skills: your degree of responsibility for calls for projects and the scope of those on which you will work will evolve according to these parameters.

​

Section 1

Designing, running and organizing training courses

1-1: Pedagogical engineering: designing short training course These include training in the use of each of the network's games (some fifteen to date, with many more to come), as well as more general training courses introducing Ikigai and the use of games in the hybridization of teaching. Each course is available in 3 formats:

• A video presentation of the synthetic game including presentation of the game and any content customization tools, and presentation of ways of using the game with a student audience. As part of your pedagogical engineering mission, you will define the storyboard for the video, but the technical aspects (capture of rushes, editing) can be carried out by another member of the team.

• A synthetic distance learning format integrating the above elements in interaction with an audience.

• A more detailed and interactive face-to-face format intintegrating the above elements, as well as concrete use of the game and associated tools by the public.

Each course is designed in collaboration with the scientific experts behind the game.

 

1-2: Animation: running training courses que vous aurez conçues auprès des partenaires d’Ikigai (universités, grandes écolesthat you will have designed with Ikigai's partners (universities, grandes écoles, associations). Face-to-face training can take place in various establishments throughout France, and the first few months of the position will see the greatest need for training, to launch the initiative. You'll need to travel around 2 to 3 times a month for the first few months, then 1 to 2 times a month to get up to speed, for 1 or 2 days per trip. One of the natural contacts in educational establishments is the pedagogical innovation support service.

 

1-3: Organization: manage all organizational aspects of training implementation (communication, logistics): draw up training schedules based on the context (training needs, regularity, audience availability), contact and inform partners, set up registrations..

 

Section 2

Managing the association and partner network

Organize events and set up working communities to animate the network and enrich its activities: scientific symposium, sharing of best practices, playtesting sessions and demonstrations, etc.

 

Participate in newsletter writing and communications awith the network of various activities.

​

Most of these activities will be asynchronous and online, but there will be some travel during the year for face-to-face events, whether Ikigai initiates or participates.

 

Section 3

Prospecting for new partners

Activities include :

• Regular monitoring pour tto find potential new partners.

• Establish contact and dialogue with these partners et land introduce them to the initiative.

• Monitor their integration into the consortium and the launch of their potential projects.

• Identify opportunities and turn them into reality: during discussions with partners, identify the levers and resources needed to launch joint projects; identify and apply for calls for projects, find and put partners in touch with each other, drive project dynamics.

 

Section 4

Drafting applications for calls for projects

Activities include :

• Monitor calls for projects.

• Produce editorial content with the help of the creative and operational director and the president.

• Manage the organization of the application (compilation and dispatch of documents).

• Liaise with partners involved in the application.

​

Your qualities

Ideally, you have the following qualities and experience:

Experience in designing and running training courses: to fulfill the main missions linked to part 1, we expect, for example: experience in the field of pedagogy, training or scientific mediation, training in educational engineering, expertise within a support service for educational innovation...

Knowledge of and passion for the game medium: video games in particular, but also other formats: board games, escape games, role-playing games, etc.

Knowledge of university and institutional environments: to understand the context in which your contacts operate.

At least 4-5 years' experience: the position is strategic and involves a wide range of issues, and therefore requires existing experience in this type of role.

Interest in teaching and ability to explain specific concepts to a non-expert audience. The widespread use of games in teaching is a recent phenomenon, and not all interested teachers are experts: it's up to you to give them the keys!

Excellent organization and autonomy: you'll be working on several projects in different contexts and at different times.

​

Proficiency in office automation (Office suite, Google Drive/Doc/Sheet, Windows, web browser) and IT tools in general; ability to learn new IT tools: A good command of IT tools in general, and a genuine ability to optimize your processes, are expected. A training session on this subject can be organized.

Accuracy and attention to detail: You are at ease with processes requiring the handling of precise information, and are used to setting up proofreading or double-checking processes prior to major mailings.

You'll be in frequent contact with the association's partners and will be responsible for its public image, communicating both the professionalism and energy that drive us.

Ability to receive feedback and iterate: effective processes are built through continuous improvement, particularly at the beginning of the job. Being able to receive and integrate feedback on methods will be invaluable if you are to quickly fulfill the expected missions with the required level of detail.
 

Interest in the civic aspect of this project: like us, you want to contribute to the progress of our society through play!

​

The extras that will help you

Knowledge of associations: our structure is an association, and so are some of its current and future partners.

​

Previous experience in applying for calls for projects and grants: to help you manage these processes. A training phase is also possible.

 

Numeracy and basic accounting skills: to handle the basic budgetary aspects of calls for projects.
