Join Future Island-Island for Game On, For The Planet: Design A Board Game on Friday 15th August.
In this workshop for children aged 9-11, you'll be introduced to design thinking through the playful format of board games. Together, you'll explore how environmental themes can shape the world around us, connecting sustainability with creativity. Children will think like a designer, create their own board game, explore environmental themes and get hands-on and creative!
The kids will be joined by Future Island-Island researchers, design educator Dr Amanda Mironova-Stronge (Ulster University), and game designer Rory O'Connor (Hub Games), exploring how imaginative thinking can empower the next generation of changemakers.
