Join Simon today from 13:00-15:00 at Perspectives of Empowerment to gain an understanding of how the interplay of policy decisions from different sectors affect the realization of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

Simon is Co-director of the games company Free Ice Cream, which uses games, play and agency as a means to help people understand complex subjects. So far this has included games such as the award-winning 2030 Hive Mind game. Commissioned by the ODI and UNDP, 2030 Hive Mind is a real-time policy simulation game that helps people understand the complex way different policies affect the Sustainable Development Goals. Through Simon's workshop session, participants will get to put themselves in the roles of policy decision makers by playing 2030 Hive Mind. Please bring your smartphone to participate.

See you there!
