Are you interested in social dynamics and the power of games and play in helping groups navigate complex conversations?
DEAL is collaborating with Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre (The Climate Centre) to offer the DEAL community an experience of the world of serious games.
In the event we will play some games together online (learning by doing!), show and explore how the games can be used and adapted to your own context (whether that be in person or online), and hear some stories of how games have been applied in the context of The Climate Centre’s humanitarian work, from rural Zambia to the White House and from the Vatican to NASA.
