We do a lot of work. A lot of great work. Most of which due to the nature we can’t tell anyone about. Anyway, there’s one project that we launched earlier in the year that we can now tell everyone about – and that’s “Crisis Point” our majorly cool youth engagement project for the UK Office of the European Parliament which has just won a tasty EIA (European Information Association) Award for Excellence in EU Information Provision 2010. Whoop Whoop!
Check out the promo poster here:
The brief for Crisis Point was along the lines of “come up with a teaching aid to help citizenship teachers teach European Citizenship more easily and effectively”. So – as always – we wanted to give a bit of Delib’s patented *engagement zing* to the project and came up with the concept of the Crisis Point game – a kind of Hollywood Blockbuster disaster movie meets teacher resource ; – )
Pitched with the line “Europe has reached Crisis Point. A contagious pandemic is spreading fast. Can you make the right decisions to save lives?”, the idea of the game is for school children to play out the roles of a citizen, MEP and European Commissioner to experience how the EU works at first hand – albeit in the context of impending disaster.
Check out some photos of the school teacher packs here:
A big thanks to all the team involved in this, including Craig H, the nice people at Play Nicely and of course our lovely clients Daniel + Vera at the European Parliament.
Hi team – I’m so thrilled to see this finished and out there on its own, like an endangered tiger cub finally being released into the wild! It was so much fun to work on (even in my lowly role as intern) and such a detailed, creative project to bring to life. Well done on the award, but a bigger well done on Crisis Point itself (which is what counts
) – you should be proud!
All the best,
Becca.
