Why Europe Alive?
European cooperation is rarely made tangible and exciting to students by textbooks and traditional teaching. That is why we have created the project Europe Alive.
​
Europe Alive is a series of Edu-LARPs – educational live action role playing games. Our innovative learning method gives
high school students a closer understanding of EU institutions, and empower them to look behind simplified communication about the EU.​
