Newsletter 12 July 2024

Welcome to GreenEduLARP project. This project aims at using the tool of EduLARP (Educational Live Action Role Playing) for Climate Change Education (CCE). This way students but also teachers – as involved participants- will be connecting the topics related to Climate Change learned in classroom with real-life situations, therefore relating to their own life, making connections also on how green their life and attitude are.

Stay connected with the progress of the project by reading our newsletter, that will be released continuously until we finish in 2024. If you are an educator, working with Educational Larp or just generally interested in new ways of working with environmental issues this project is for you!
