The Urban Living Lab Playground Game aims to share the cornerstones of the Urban Living Lab activities - how it functions; who are the staff members working there; and what co-creation tools can be used to engage citizens. Ultimately, participants will learn how an Urban Living Lab functions and how it can bring city stakeholders together to fight a given climate challenge. The gamified approach aids creative thinking and helps challenge solvers to look at the problem from a different perspective/with a fresh set of eyes. By bringing together a diverse mix of participants, the game helps to break down barriers of communication through a storytelling approach.
