What comes to mind when you think of a border? Probably nothing special, right? You drive through it, and that’s it. But imagine... that at the Polish-Ukrainian border, you have to wait in a long line for several hours. And there, smugglers roam, supported by dishonest customs officers. Because of this, a group of young people from Ukraine might be late for a dance festival in Poland...

Want to know what happened next? Play the game "Kordon," inspired by the popular Mafia game, created by young people from the Warsaw AVE Foundation and the Ukrainian Eco-Mercy Foundation during the "Let's play... magical mafia" project in August 2019. For several days, they paddled through the very difficult Regi River route by kayak, rode bikes, exchanged passions, had amazing adventures, searched for interesting stories, and during workshops, they created 4 games about Poland and Ukraine. Thanks to them, you can learn more about both countries, their languages, and their issues. KORDON, PLUA, APVIP, and M2 are great games that you can download from the AVE Foundation website. Have fun!
