On Monday, November 18, 2024, we held the Seminar Law of the Sea in Action: Learning Through Gamification and Cinema, organized as part of the Teaching Innovation Project, PIEU-B/2024/13.

The seminar, led by professors from the Public International Law and International Relations Department at UMH, Elena Crespo Navarro (Coordinator), Rocío M. Pozo Tomás, and Adela Rodríguez Mañogil, targeted students enrolled in the Public International Law course, fourth-year students from the Dual Degree in Law and Business Administration (DADE) and second-year students from the Law Degree at Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH).

The main objective of the activity was to introduce students to lessons on the Law of the Sea in an innovative, dynamic, and participatory way. To achieve this, various gamification tools were used to enhance the understanding of the subject. Additionally, students were required to watch two miniseries based on real events involving Spanish ships and crews, directly related to the seminar’s main theme.

Subsequently, students worked in groups to create short podcasts explaining concepts, principles, and rules of the Law of the Sea, connecting them to the miniseries and other international practice cases where the application of the Law of the Sea was at stake. A selection of these podcasts was carried out and some were played and discussed during the session.

The activity took place on Monday, November 18, at 1:00 PM with the DADE group and at 6:00 PM with the Law group.
