In parallel to my different activities, I sometimes give game design lessons in different schools. Teaching is an important step for any professional because it requires to formalize our knowledge and to be up to date in order to be able to transmit it. On the other side, the students bring a lot to the trainers with their new ideas or visions on the world. The courses I give deal mainly with points in game design.
