Zusammenfassung

The study shows the process and result of the implementation of a methodology based on the employment of music and game dynamics in the subject «EU and the Arctic» of the third course of the International Relations ‘degree at the NARFU University in Arkhangelsk, Russia. This methodology is based upon a similar one already tested at the Universidad de La Laguna (Spain). One of the challenges of this new experience was to face a different educative culture from the original one. Another obstacle was the language difference. Lectures were taught in English, which was not the mother language neither of the teacher nor of the students. The comparison of results of both experiences confirms the conclusions of the previous study. The methodology affects specially those factors related with students´ wellness and the improvement of the classroom environment.
