The complexity of global challenges is constantly rising. How can designers address these complexities to incite change fostering the sustainable co-existence of human and ecological systems?

Taking this question as a starting point, in this SAP, students will understand how game designers can address these complexities to incite change, fostering the sustainable co-existence of humans and the ecological systems. Creating games that motivate people to engage with these topics in a playful way could be one way of making critical issues intelligible and experienceable.
