About the project
The ‘Playing the Blue’ project promotes the active participation of young people in water conservation through non-formal education and the use of LARP (Live Action Role Play).
It involves 56 young people in four regions (Piedmont, Liguria, Campania, Puglia) in training courses, co-creation of scenarios, thematic workshops and local events. Participants will be involved in the creation and testing of educational games on the theme of water, strengthening their skills, creating collaborative networks and promoting dialogue with local institutions.
The project aims to reduce eco-anxiety and encourage active citizenship, enhancing the unique characteristics of the territory and building replicable tools for the future.
