Zespol Szkol Ogolnoksztalcacych nr 1 w Gdansku is a high school that has been developing rapidly. Recently, we are mainly oriented on developing soft skills of our students as it is said they are valuable in the job market. Our students are 14-19 years old. After graduation, they all continue their education and study. The project was supposed to help students after the pandemic when a lot of them had psychological and mental issues due to the lockdown and lack of contact they used to know with others. Active usage of board games and drama during our lessons, along with a Role Play Games (RPG) club for the students willing to play after the lessons were the main issues we wanted to train our teachers on. Thanks to the knowledge gained in the courses and during the observation of the others at job shadowing sessions teachers of our school raised their awareness level of how important gaming is for our students, how much it can help them overcome the obstacles our reality provides, and also how significant the change can influence their future life and attitude towards coming to school and the very act of learning.
