On Monday, 18 August, representatives of the European Migration Network (EMN) Latvia participated in the annual regional conference of the Latvian Geographical Society in Alūksne. The event brought together geography teachers, researchers and other interested parties to discuss the latest trends in geography teaching and current issues in regional research.
During the conference, representatives of EMN Latvia presented the use of the educational tool “Destination: Europe” in the classroom. This tool is a discussion game that helps students learn about migration processes, understand their causes and consequences, and make decisions by evaluating different points of view. The game promotes critical thinking, the ability to argue one’s point of view, and encourages discussion, while enriching the learning process with a practical and interactive approach.
Geography teachers welcomed the opportunity to learn about a new teaching resource that would help students learn about migration as a global phenomenon in an understandable and engaging way. EMT Latvia will continue to work with teachers and educational institutions to promote the availability of high-quality, modern teaching materials in Latvian schools. More information about the game and materials for teachers are available here.
