The Antarctic Futures game

has been developed as a

part of the Antarctic Cities

Project. The development of

the game has been the

result of participatory

co-design through ongoing

community engagement.

The collaborative nature of

the game makes it a

valuable educational tool

that can be used in a variety

of settings that deal with

issues including but not

limited to climate change,

environmental policy, and

ecological sustainability.

Classroom/Tutorial Students engage in guidedplay sessions, and comparenotes on: > Selecting policy > Responses to crises >Challenges in decision-making

Ice-breaking Session  Participants are divided intoteams. A member from eachteam engages in structured role-play sessions and make decisionsin the game based on the rolethey are assigned. Team-members can then discussaspects such as differences inoutcomes, policy considerations,and overall progress of the gamebased on the role portrayed.

Team Building Activity Team members engage in playsessions with an assigned goal (i.e. achieving 80% globalpreparedness to take actionagainst climate change). Team members discuss thestrategies they implementedto reach that goals.
