Games Design Workshop & Board Games Social with Matteo Menapace & Max Haiven

Sunday December 15th,
Doors and tea & cake at 3pm; Games design workshop starts 3.30pm; Board games & social from 6pm.

Games are among humanity’s most ancient technologies. They are not only a tool for having fun, they facilitate learning and transformation, from our earliest childhood and throughout our lives. How can games help us think, feel, act and come together again in the face of the climate emergency? And how can thinking and practicing game design help activists, artists and advocates for climate justice reimagine and renew our approach?

With a focus on board games and convivial games (like those played at protests or in small groups), this workshop will afford an opportunity for participants to learn about the power of games and design their own.

It will be led by Matteo Menapace, co-designer of the award-winning climate board game Daybreak and by Max Haiven, Canada Research Chair in the Radical Imagination and designer of the forthcoming Billionaires and Guillotines. No special experience is necessary.

The workshop will be followed by board games evening and social at 6pm. All are welcome to come and play.
