Over the past years edutainment has become more and more popular. The word itself is based on education and entertainment.

The basic idea behind edutainment is that if you can manage to combine education with entertainment it will make learning easier and more efficient because the entertainment element will serve as a motivational factor.

Edutainment tools are often used in schools and when teaching children and young people in general. Computer-, video- and roleplaying games are all popular in terms of edutainment.

Keynote speakers talking about edutainment will typically focus on the role of edutainment within various types of education.
