Summary/Abstract: The article is a presentation of two events – city games: „The Tree of Support” and „The Life Scraps”, which were the parts of the Festivals of Science that took place in Zielona Gora in 2009–2012. Analysing the experience of these projects participants, mostly students and academic teachers, the author answers the question: wherever pursuing projects outside the university walls will give students a different and new opportunity to acquire skills of being a professional counsellor or reflective researchers of counselling practice. In the first part the author describes two mentioned projects: „The Tree of Support” and „The Life Scraps”. In the next part the author refers to literary checks whether these projects can be gamification mechanisms. In the final section there are analyses of some changes that had taken place during the project continuity and after its completion, and evaluates their suitability in the process of education of pedagogical and social studies students.
