HELP US MAKE A GAME!
What: Learn about biodiversity offsetting, tabletop games and game design and take part in an interdisciplinary research project. There will be lectures on biodiversity offsetting, games and game design. We will test play several tabletop games in small groups and in the end, each small group will design their own pilot game!
Who: Master students at the University of Tampere interested in gamification, game design, environmental policy, nature conservation:
• in the School of management
