Detailed description (English): Slow City Game is a cooperative board game that promotes road safety and safe, sustainable mobility among children and adolescents. It was originally developed by students from the Faculty of Education at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) as part of an Erasmus+ exchange between youth in Barcelona and Slovenia. Since then, P(A)T has integrated and adapted the game as an educational tool in schools and youth centers across various cities.
Players move across the board as pedestrians or drivers, facing real-world challenges: resolving conflicts, defending 30 km/h zones, and rethinking how streets can be made safer. The activity fosters empathy, critical thinking, and teamwork.
Facilitated by a road safety education expert, the game invites reflection on public space, pedestrian rights, and shared responsibility in urban mobility. Key messages include: “Cities slow down to protect life” and “Mobility is for everyone.”
Aligned with the 2025 theme, the project empowers young people as active citizens who question urban speed from a child’s perspective.
Slow City Game will be implemented during European Mobility Week in various schools (on demand), and is easily replicable across diverse educational and community settings.
Detailed description (original language): Slow City Game es un juego cooperativo que promueve la seguridad vial y la movilidad segura y sostenible entre la infancia y adolescencia. Fue desarrollado originalmente por estudiantes de la Facultad de Educación de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), en el marco de un intercambio Erasmus+ entre jóvenes de Barcelona y Eslovenia. Desde entonces, P(A)T lo ha integrado y adaptado como herramienta educativa en escuelas y espacios juveniles de distintas ciudades.
En el tablero, los jugadores se mueven como peatones o conductores, y enfrentan retos reales: gestionar conflictos, defender zonas 30 km/h o reflexionar sobre cómo hacer las calles más seguras. La actividad fomenta empatía, pensamiento crítico y colaboración.
Facilitado por un monitor experto en educación vial, el juego invita a reflexionar sobre el espacio público, los derechos del peatón y la corresponsabilidad en la movilidad. Mensajes clave: “La ciudad se desacelera para proteger la vida” y “La movilidad es para todas las personas”.
En línea con el lema 2025, el proyecto empodera a la juventud como ciudadanía activa capaz de cuestionar el ritmo urbano desde una mirada infantil.
Slow City Game se implementará durante la Semana Europea de la Movilidad en diferentes escuelas (bajo demanda), y puede replicarse en múltiples contextos educativos y territoriales.
