Poland: the government introduces video games to the national education system

Over the years, video games have proven to be an important means of learning:

thanks to their interactive nature, video games can stimulate students to learn new concepts in a more engaging way, representing a complementary tool to be combined with other more classic training initiatives.

Among the countries that strongly believe in their power is Poland, which has introduced a program to study through video games in the national education system.

The Polish government has in fact announced the initiative ‘Gry w Edukacji’, literally ‘Games in education’, with which it intends to exploit the popularity, the charm and the ability to involve video games to make its students reflect on some historical events. The ‘Gry w Edukacji’ program will see Polish teachers use video games to stimulate students to develop transversal knowledge: we start with This War of Mine.
