ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATIONAL LARP

 In the spring of 2023, 10 schools participated in the project ”Global educational role-playing as a supporter of formal and non-formal learning in the topics of global and climate justice” led by the Peipsi Cooperation Center. The research revealed that role plays are used quite often in the subject lessons. There were more of those who use the pig method in their studies at least once a year, a total of 63%. 37% of respondents had not used it at all. It was also surprising that almost a quarter of the respondents used the role play more often than 5 times. Among them there were respondents who also mentioned that about ten times or even 15-20 times a year. Role plays would be needed in all levels of school. From the survey, it was found that a little more is needed for students from the second grade. The topics for which role play scenarios are needed are primarily related to the environment, history, humanities, multiculturalism, nature studies and many social topics. “GreenEduLarp, co-founded by the European Union, Erasmus+ Cooperation partnerships in school education.”

AeliaPath continues its commitment to educational innovation by conducting a specialised training session. This session was designed with the objective of empowering drama theatre teachers with the knowledge and skills needed to seamlessly incorporate the innovative GreenEduLarp methodology into their teaching practices.

In a world that demands creative and immersive educational approaches, drama theater teachers play a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of learners. The training, led by AeliaPath, embraced the vision of GreenEduLarp, which utilizes Live Action Role-Playing (Larp) as a dynamic tool to instill environmental awareness and sustainability values.

Through this training, drama theatre teachers were exposed to the unique intersection of art, drama, and environmental education. They acquired the expertise to create engaging, role-playing experiences that enable students to delve deep into the world of environmental consciousness, fostering a sense of responsibility for our planet.
