Play for Sustainability
Play, Learn, and Explore
Join an afternoon of board games that combine play with sustainability. This informal session introduces a range of games designed to explore environmental challenges, systems thinking, and collective action.
The event will begin with a short presentation of Climate for All, an award-winning European initiative developed by five nonprofit organisations. The project creates educational games that help participants develop green competences through play. The six original games of the project are paired with a structured workshop methodology that encourages players to reflect on what they learn and translate those insights into practical local climate action.
During this event, participants will have the opportunity to explore and play some of the games of the Climate for All project, alongside several additional sustainability-themed board and card games. The session is open and flexible: you may join simply to play, observe, or discuss game design for social and environmental impact.
Participants are also welcome to bring their own games, provided they relate to sustainability, social impact, or regeneration.
No prior experience with games is required.

This event happens on the same day as the related conference "Climate for All: Building Green Competences for a Resillient Europe", which is taking place at the Committee of the Regions. This provides the opportunity to attend both, having a high-level panel discussion with policy experts and civil society representatives in the morning, and experiencing the games themselves in the afternoon. Make sure to register for both events separately if you wish enjoy this combination!
Whether you are interested in board games, sustainability, or game design for impact, this session offers an opportunity to discover how games can support learning and inspire action.
