About this Event

Speakers: Steven Forrest, Pen Holland, Matteo Menapace, Prasad Sandbhor and Lynda Dunlop (chair)

Could board games help save the planet? Can they be both fun and have a serious purpose and impact in the real world?

From flooding to climate action, join us to find out how innovative games are addressing climate change and biodiversity loss. Hear from the experts behind the designs and then experience the games first hand as you discover the power of play.

Our event is presented by the University of York’s Environmental Sustainability at York (ESAY) Facilitator Team - a team of staff and students from a range of backgrounds.
