As the warm embrace of summer envelops us, it’s a time to pause, reflect, and connect with the beauty of our natural world. ’Green EduLarp’ isn’t just a project; it’s hopefully the start of a more sustainable future.

In the vibrant tapestry of July, when nature is in full bloom, we find inspiration for our journey. The ’Green EduLarp’ project, which intertwines education and environmental consciousness, is a reminder that our actions, both big and small, matter.

Whether you’re enjoying the outdoors, tending to a garden, or simply savouring the beauty of a sunny day, remember that these moments are an integral part of our connection to the environment. ’Green EduLarp’ aims to instil this connection in the hearts of the next generation.

Wishing you a wonderful and sustainable July, filled with purpose, passion, and a deep appreciation for the world we call home. Let’s keep moving forward, one step at a time, towards a brighter, more eco-conscious future.

On the 6th of June – the annual conference of the Rohelise kooli programm Eestis /Green School Programme in Estonia of the Green School network / Rohelise kooli võrgustik in Estonia was held in Tallinn, where the Peipsi Cooperation Center conducted three workshops on creating educational role-playing games.

In the workshop, a quick version of the ”Tree of Life” https://ctc.ee/publications/games/a-tree-of-life was played, an overview of what a educational role play game was given, and an example and practical tips how to use sustainable development goals to find material for creating role-playing games.

The syllabus of the Green Edularp project was introduced and the opportunity to test it in autumn 2023.

On June 2, the Peipsi Cooperation Center held a training session ”GLOBAL EDUCATION THROUGH EDUCATIONAL ROLE PLAYING” in Tartu as part of the role-play festival

Training included theory of edularp, practical workshop on developing one edu-larp idea and also the #greenedularp green student curriculum was also introduced and invited to test it in autumn.

Two edularp ideas began to develop, where one game takes adventurers to the years of 1300. The second idea was different challenges with the adventurers on the Island, where the storm cuts off electricity and all means of communication, and the inhabitants face perishable food.

In Thessaloniki, two high schools recently had the opportunity to explore the groundbreaking GreenEdularp methodology and participate in a three-day training program held in Poland. This immersive experience not only familiarised these educators with the methodology but also inspired them to bring environmental education to life in their classrooms. The introduction of the GreenEdularp methodology to the high schools in Thessaloniki, along with the three-day training program in Poland, has paved the way for a new era of environmental education in the region. With dedicated and informed educators at the helm, students in Thessaloniki will benefit from an engaging and transformative learning experience that will instil in them a lifelong commitment to environmental stewardship. The ripple effect of this initiative promises to inspire other educators and schools to embrace innovative methodologies, ultimately leading to a greener and more sustainable future for all.
