Background

Under the Youth4Capacity programme, the UK Youth Climate Coalition, in collaboration with YOUNGO and the ACE Hub, delivered a networking session on 'Gamifying Systems Change.' Anchored in the concept of systems change rather than climate change, this collaborative game engaged participants in working together to identify the systems within their daily lives that have contributed to the climate crisis. Participants collaborated 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.

Format and Agenda

This highly interactive session involved group discussions to engage participants in a collaborative and game-like activity.
