Go!ThisWhy!
Together with a group of creative students (Anna Jaksik, Artur Małajny, Michał Chojnacki, Miłosz Jelonek, Przemysław Starowicz), I developed the card game Go!ThisWhy, which premiered at the 6th Silesian Science Festival. The game set we created, along with several different gameplay variations, focuses on developing the skill of asking questions rather than providing answers. This original and innovative game was designed entirely from scratch and received enthusiastic feedback upon its debut.
Go!ThisWhy is both entertaining and educational. The game demonstrates how creative questioning can open new perspectives and encourage continuous exploration of solutions. We also highlight that the questions posed often prove more significant than the answers given.
Our game fosters the development of several fundamental human capacities, including:
- The ability to ask important questions as an expression of the art of interrogative thinking: Why?
- The will to ask questions and the uncompromising courage to formulate them, which manifests in the activity of questioning: Go!
The goal of our project is to create tools that strengthen this interrogative stance, and hence: Go!ThisWhy
Path Educational Project
Philosophical-Educational Nature Path
We developed a philosophical-educational nature path, an initiative designed to bring academic issues beyond the walls of the university. The goal is to encourage participants to rethink fundamental questions that concern us all while exploring the fascinating landscapes of Silesia. One example of the implementation of this initiative is the project Path: Human-Nature, which invites participants to reflect on the critical relationship between humanity and the natural world. Along the designated route, we pause at several distinctive spots to engage in thoughtful discussions on selected topics such as freedom/necessity, diversity, transience, and health.
This guided walk is intended not only to stimulate reflection but also to inspire individuals to embark on their own personal walks, contemplating meaningful questions as they connect with the world around them.
