THE LAW OF THE SEA IN ACTION: LEARNING THROUGH GAMIFICATION AND CINEMA (PIEU-B/2024/13)

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.

The Area of Public International Law and International Relations at Miguel Hernández University of Elche organized the Interuniversity Practical Seminar: Understand your European citizens rights and how to exercise them.

The Seminar, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Elena Crespo Navarro, Associate Professor of Public International Law and International Relations at UMH and UMH Jean Monnet Chair holder, was funded by the Vice-Rectorate for International Relations and Cooperation within the framework of the PRODIC-UMH 2024-2025 “Internationalization at Home” Teaching Projects Program.

The OBJECTIVE of the Seminar was to explore part of the syllabus of the subject European Union Law from a practical perspective through an interactive and collaborative methodology using gamification tools (Kahoot and Escape Room) and a simulation activity. Specifically, students had to simulate the procedure for submitting complaints to the European Ombudsman and petitions to the European Parliament on selected current issues, as well as real cases involving EU citizenship before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).

The CHOSEN TOPIC was the status of EU citizenship and the mechanisms provided by the EU to ensure the effective exercise of related rights.

PARTICIPANTS in the project included 4th-year students from the Double Degree in Law and Business Administration (DADE), who worked alongside students from the Italian Universities of Perugia and Cagliari, under the guidance of faculty in Public International Law and EU Law from those institutions: Prof. Dr. Alessandra Lanciotti, Prof. Dr. Simone Vezzani, and Prof. Dr. Maria Cristina Carta (University of Perugia), and Prof. Dr. Francesca Ippolito (University of Cagliari).

The Seminar was held over three sessions (March 31 and April 1 and 8, 2025), conducted simultaneously at the three universities via Google Meet.

The sessions were MODERATED by professors from the Area of Public International Law and International Relations at UMH: Alessandra Nasoni (Honorary Collaborator); Rocío M. Pozo Tomás (Pre-doctoral scholarship holder); and Adela Rodríguez Mañogil (Assistant Professor).
