What is EduLARP?
How does it contribute to green competences for students?
How much impact does experiential learning and creativity have to school communities?
Project GreenEduLARP 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 more easily relating them to their own life, making connections also on how green their life and attitude is.
The aims of the project are:
- to empower teachers with new competences in environmental education using LARP
- to enhance students with confidence and agency skills through the LARPing methodology and teamwork while also learning about climate change and building concepts around it
- to create accessible online material for further use and capitalization
- to build a transnational strategy on how to adapt EduLARP methodology in school curricula.
The project was selected as a good practice and presented at 'The Climate We Want. Changing the Climate Narratives' event organised fromt the Catalan Government in Brussels

Great work, Konstantina!👏👏👏
Teachers need to integrate 21st century learning skills into our lessons. We should be preparing our students (and ourselves) with co-creative and active learning skills which will help them/us to be creative thinkers and problem-solvers in a rapidly changing environment.
Hello Maria and thank you for your comment. We owe to ourselves and generations to come a better future, and through social innovation tools we have a chance for an empowered school community. However, before doing that we should all ground and stop for a moment to reflect upon what we are doing ourselves, assess our lives and then change our mindsets (to help also others change). By living in a society with a routine full of speed, does not allow us to have time for this crucial reflection. Let's work together towards a healthier, greener and hopeful future!
