- Abstract

Awareness and democratic participation to the European union are significant and critical social issues. Digital narrative-based learning offers a means of raising citizens’ awareness and in engaging them in participating to the democratic life of the European Union. An online survey was conducted in order to examine students’, coming from different fields of study, experience in serious gaming and their knowledge on the European Parliament. The findings of the study provide insight for further studies as well as for the design of narrative-based learning systems.
