The Department of Political Science at Radboud University conducted a Demogames workshop during the Teacher Day 2023. This two-hour workshop centered on introducing Demogames to social science teachers in formal education in The Netherlands. The training included a practical session on the games Demodice and Observers, in both their analog and digital versions. The training also introduced participants to the Demogames outputs and allowed participants to reflect on the process and potential ways to incorporate Demogames in their teaching. The Department of Political Science at Radboud University is also funding the translation of Demogames materials into Dutch.

Demogames partner organisation Demokrative launched in Switzerland the project Democracy multiplied. In this project, seven young education practitioners and university students have been trained to conduct game-based workshops with young people. The training has been based on the Demogames training curriculum, but adapted to project circumstances: The first training step focused on two games and provided ready-to use session plans. In the future, in regular intervals, the multipliers will participate in trainings to reflect their experiences and acquire the competences to use more different games and methods.
