Utrecht 2040: The location-based game for collectively creating a sustainable future

Language: NL/ENG

Utrecht University wrote in its Strategic Plan for 2016-2020 that 'All students will become familiar with sustainability issues as part of their curriculum'. To introduce and teach students about the basic concepts of sustainability, a location-based, multiplayer, Serious Game was developed: Utrecht2040. This game can be played with tens to thousands of students simultaneously.

The game makes use of Challenge Based Learning and thus offers the opportunity to put topics discussed in the classroom into practice in a playful manner. The aim of the game is to open the eyes of first-year students and raise their awareness of sustainability and the potential role they can play in their own discipline. By playing the game the students get the feeling they are part of something bigger: they work together to create a vision of the best possible version of Utrecht in 2040. During this session, we let participants have a taste of part of the game themselves.
