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!

Learn how to effectively pass on knowledge with Michael on Saturday afternoon. Communication is key to a sustainable world and the valuable skills you will learn through his workshop can benefit you and many others.

Convincing other people to recognize problematic issues is not too far from every teacher’s daily task. In fact, theories and models from education research can help us understand how to succeed when we want another person to learn something, be it multiplication tables or the importance of achieving sustainable development goals. In Micahel’s workshop, you will gain insight into educational concepts and be able to apply that to your favourite SDG.

Michael works for the project LeaP@CAU, which aims to enhance the teacher education program at Kiel University. Following the urge to understand the fundamentals of the strange and fascinating world surrounding him, Michael studied technical biology, evolution and science teaching. He enjoys passing his fascination for scientific and environmental topics on to university students, children, and adults. He worked at the IPN, the University of Hamburg, and at museums in Germany and Hamburg, has given numerous public talks on coral reefs and is a trainer for Greenpeace.
