Abstract
The aim of the paper is to present the processes of the game implementation and design. Nowadays technologies could play an active role in promoting social inclusion and equal participation by providing people with interactive experiences on these subjects. Paper authors are develo** a game that will engage learners and motivate them to learn from simulated experience-enhancing critical reflection on social and political circumstances, build skills and stimulate interest for collective action. The paper presents a case study on gaming implementation in practice.
