Abstract
In this chapter, we will describe Learn to Lead (L2L), an educational role-playing game to train about leadership. It has been realised within the framework of the Leonardo Lifelong Learning programme, supported by the European Commission (502903-LLP-1-2009-1-IT-LEONARDO-LMP). It involved a consortium of 6 partners from France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom with different expertise related to training in soft skills, cognitive technologies and artificial intelligence application to education, the use of ICT to affect behaviour, “serious gaming” and design of online games. Here, we will describe the design process that gave birth to Learn to Lead.
