About the Project
The main idea of the project was to develop innovative didactic tools: the board game and four culture-specific role-playing games to be used during academic classes in humanities in the consortium and beyond it. Through games and gamification the students of the four high education institutions (HEI) will have an opportunity to improve the 21st century skills, i.e. communication and cooperation skills, creative and logical thinking, awareness and openness towards other cultures and fluency in English. The project responded to a strong demand for innovative approaches in teaching (the idea of gamification and game-based learning) - didactic tools developing 21st century skills to be used in a wide field of academic humanities or secondary education, HR departments, career advisers. International consortium staff specializing in humanities: from modern language studies to teacher training in science or arts, greatly contributed to the project outputs, which resulted in the innovative, interdisciplinary character of the didactic games and their considerable transferability potential. The objectives were achieved in the international consortium of Philological School of Higher Education in Wroclaw, Poland, Høgskulen på Vestlandet, Norway, Universitatea „Vasile Alecsandri” din Bacău, Romania and Univerza v Ljubljani, Slovenia.
