Background

Under the Youth4Capacity programme, the UK Youth Climate Coalition, in collaboration with YOUNGO and the ACE Hub, will deliver a networking session on 'Gamifying Systems Change.' Anchored in the concept of systems change rather than climate change, this collaborative game will engage participants in working together to identify the systems within their daily lives that have contributed to the climate crisis. Participants will collaborate to identify power structures, winners, and losers across a variety of systems, subsequently constructing an interconnected network between each one.

 

Objectives

  • Foster a systems thinking approach to understanding the climate crisis and interconnections between the different systems.
  • Enhance participants' understanding and capacities of systems, power dynamics, and interconnections.
  • Provide a platform for participants to connect, exchange ideas, build relationships and facilitate mutual learning.

 

Agenda and Format

The session will be interactive, involving group discussions to engage participants in a collaborative and game-like activity.

System Guessing Game

Each player receives a ‘system’ without seeing what it is. By asking questions to other players, they will slowly identify their system and help others to understand theirs.

30 mins

String Game

The players are arranged into a circle and are now allowed to see their system. In this section players will identify a link between their system and another’s, passing a ball of string at the same time, keeping hold of the loose end. Then, the player who now has received the remaining ball of string takes their turn.
