Crisis Point
Europe has reached Crisis Point. A contagious pandemic is spreading fast. Can you make the right decisions to save lives across Europe?
Crisis Point is an exciting new European Citizenship teaching resource. Students must work together as citizens, MEP’s and European Commissioners to save Europe and their school. Watch the introductory video and read more below, or visit our “download page” to have a look at Crisis Point.
The Crisis Point game is based on a fictional scenario in which students have to work as citizens, MEP’s and European Commissioners to save Europe from a pandemic.
The idea of Crisis Point is to provide an engaging way in which students (Key stages 3 and 4) can learn about how Europe works, helping them understand the different roles of the European Commission and European Parliament, and how these institutions affect the lives of the millions of diverse citizens across Europe.
