Objectives

The LLTC “Games People Play” was designed to develop operational capacities of affianced organizations by learning innovative methods of youth social activation. The project was exploring gamification as a method of youth work, designed to engage youth in solving problems of their local communities. Youth workers and youth leaders were discussing ways of engaging youth for taking actions for their communities, exchange of good practices and discuss possible boundaries of engaging young people in social actions. The participants learned principles of gamification – methodology of social engagement using elements of game mechanics and developed methods of using gained knowledge and skills in youth work. We believe, that the project gave rise to network of organisations using gamification in youth work, able to stand by each other and multiply fair practices in different social contexts in Europe.
