Lucy Colclough. WorkWild

Sunday, November 7; 12:00-13:30 (Agave Room)

After the upheaval due to covid-19, cracks are showing up in many of our day-to-day routines. Employees are demanding flexible work options, business models have been shown to be rigid and fragile, learning institutions have had to hurriedly invent hybrid approaches. In this workshop Lucy will teach us how to apply the adaptive cycle to our own life and work; a perspective that will engender personal resilience, not only to global crises, but to our own challenges as well.

Roy Hobson. SEEDSGAMELAB

Sunday, November 7; 17:45-19:00 (Agave Room)

Can we play our way towards a regenerative and just society? Research in behavioural science has shown that what we play matters. Games play a critical role in transmitting social behaviors and underlying values about an individual’s role in society. 

This experiential workshop invites you to playtest Akupara, an evolving board game that simulates a symbiotic system where regenerative and just behaviors are the key to dynamic balance. We invite you to embark on a journey from where you are to where you want to be, gaining new perspectives on 21st century values, and harnessing collective intelligence to design your path to behavior change.

Seedsgamelab arose from an initiative to bring the story of Doughnut Economics to life through gameplay. We believe that the safe space of the board allows us to experience new narratives that can change our perspectives about our place in the world, and how we behave towards one another as living beings.
