A board game to lead groups into discussions about the plus and minus of the European Union

Generatione Europa (Generation Europe) was developed by CEFAL (member of Consorzio OPEN), an educational institution in Bologna, Italy, as a board game, with a cardboard playing board, and all the uther typical utensils such as playing cards with advice, other cards with unexpected events, figures to move and dice. The game is sort of quiz, but it does not focus on testing who knows most. Rather the various tasks are desigend in a way to lead players into discussion about various EU-related topics, not least their own experience. The game has a game master, and participants split in two groups to compete with each other.

How to play the game?

CEFAL in Bologna produced the board game physically, including a cardbord box etc. But for the international user, the printable materials are provided for download here on this website.

There are also Word.docx with the text of the playing cards, so that everybody can create their own translations.
