Learning through games
We believe that games can play a significant role in helping to deliver Education for Sustainable Development, and in our case build a better understanding of the politics and economics of Climate Change. Rather than study such factors in a more traditional academic fashion, game playing allows students to learn through experience. As we develop the Cap and Trade programme we will be collaborating with expert partners to study the effectiveness of our approach based in the University of Plymouth, UK and Lingnan University, Hong Kong. We very much welcome other suitable partners to join us.
