Games as a tool for modern education – development, cooperation, and conscious decisions. During the presentation, I will show how games can become a versatile and effective educational tool that supports the development of young people on many levels – from social skills, through critical thinking, to conscious decision-making. Games can engage in a way that traditional teaching methods often lack, teaching through experience and emotions. During the lecture, I will talk about different types of games – educational, simulation, and strategy – that can be used both in schools and in informal youth work. I will show how, thanks to their diversity, games allow for practical exploration of the world, teaching responsibility, cooperation, empathy, and conscious decision-making. I will also share my experiences from the implementation of the “Supportive School” and “Conscious Consumer” projects, in which games became not only a tool for imparting knowledge, but also a catalyst for discussion about values, ethics, and civic attitudes. Can games become a key element of modern education? Together, we will seek answers to this question, showing practical examples, good practices, and specific solutions that every teacher, educator, or parent can implement to better support the development of young people in a rapidly changing world.
