Because of this, in 2016 we developed the Legal Education Program that uses <strong>interactive teaching methods<\/strong> &#8211; which young people find more engaging &#8211; to teach them about how the justice system functions, about their constitutional rights, and so forth. These methods involve engaging students through games and experiences, such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>simulations of court hearings (moot courts),<\/li><li>court tours,<\/li><li>a board game we have developed called &#8222;Prawopolis\u201d (Lawpolis)<\/li><li>and Oxford-style debates.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In our educational activities <strong>we engage law students as tutors<\/strong> in an effort to encourage pro bono activities among them and help them develop soft skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>So far, we have reached over 2,000 students throughout Poland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the Legal Education Program, we also take part in<strong> local and nationwide educational campaigns<\/strong>, such as Legal Education Day and Justice in Courts Day. On these days our volunteers teach classes to young people, run a booth at law faculties to educate both law students and laypeople, and also help popularize the board game \u201cPrawopolis\u201d. During the summer holidays our educational stand can also be found at major youth festivals. Above all, we want to reach people who would never be interested in the law on their own and this goal has taken our Program to more than 20 big and small cities in Poland, such as Katowice, Krak\u00f3w, Piotrk\u00f3w Trybunalski, Wodzis\u0142aw \u015al\u0105ski, Tarn\u00f3w, Lublin, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Rybnik, \u017bory, Toru\u0144, Konin, Olkusz as well as Aleksandr\u00f3w Kujawski and Bia\u0142ystok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-4 is-cropped no-color\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\"
