Objective
MGIEP recognizes the enormous potential of Games for harnessing the potential of young people for global citizenship and engagement on collective peace and sustainable development. The objective of this Game and Mobile Application is to promote EPSD in informal and lifelong learning, develop in the students/ players a holistic understanding of peace and sustainability issues, the underlying interdependency between them as well as how individual actions and choices have an impact on the overall picture and our shared world.
