[EN] This article describes an innovative strategy aimed at teaching the subject “Political Economy”, in the University Degree in Political Science and Public Administration. Although the central methodology revolves mainly around “gamification”, it also requires activities as traditional as “taking notes” or “paying attention during class”. In addition, it provides the added value of demanding to expand and structure the information collected on the basis of structuring descriptors (glossary). Through a RPG –economic and political espionage at Bandung Conference– students collect, complete and organize the information offered by the teacher and return it through oral communications before the class. In addition to the gamification, the experience also proposes cooperative learning techniques (TAC), internet use and work under temporary pressure, pondering the possibility of unexpected difficulties or unforeseen events at the last minute. A critical vision of the discourse, discerning the practical implications of the content studied, the assumption of responsibility before the group and the ability to urgently update the expository strategies are the most desired results.
