Workshop on the climate game Keep Cool at TU Berlin on November 14, 2024
On 14 November 2024, our doctoral students Konrad and Lydia led a workshop on the climate game Keep Cool at TU Berlin. The event was part the Climate Science Days organised by the Climate Change Center Berlin Brandenburg (CCC). Fittingly to COP29which was taking place at the same time in Baku, Azerbaijan, the workshop brought climate research and negotiations to life for the players. The aim of the workshop was to use Keep Cool as a playground to impart knowledge about climate change and international climate negotiations through participatory games, thereby promoting affective learning. A lively discussion with the participants, who came from the field of sustainable urban development, an organiser for educational events for young people and adults, climate scientists from the Berlin-Brandenburg research landscape and game designers & enthusiasts, brought new ideas for the further development of the game to the table.
