Writers in Education : Zoravia

The board game Zoravia is the brainchild of Robin Lloyd-Jones and has been developed by Scottish Pen.
In the game the oppressive state of Zoravia attempts to silence its writers and journalists and the latter try to exercise their right to freedom of expression, stay out of prison and survive.

Based on real cases in the files of International PEN, this game is aimed at 16-25 age range to create awareness of the importance of freedom of expression to a just, equal and democratic society.

It has been successfully used in secondary schools by English and Modern Studies departments, citizenship courses and creative writing groups.

Workshop run by Scottish PEN on request

Guidelines available for teachers.
