Project

You(th) Play

is a project that aims to teach young people about their impact on the environment through game-based learning.

Virtual Planet

is a game that can be played both online and offline. The gameplay follows the player around the planet, posing questions about real-life actions they can take to have an impact on the environment. The answers are backed up by facts and provide additional information on the topic, so the player can learn more.

The game addresses the important topics of environmental preservation and the fight against climate change - both highly prioritised by the EU. Through the method of game-based learning, we hope to provide both youth and educators with the necessary knowledge on how to be kind to our planet.
