Explore Alternative Climate Resilient Cities

Participate in a futuristic role play and experience life in two cities, where alternative solutions have been implemented to combat the effects of climate change. In scene one, Jane, a girl from the high-tech cosmopolitical city Costech crashes with her self-flying drone in the local organic town Locor. An organic and vegan lifestyle is imposed on the citizens inside the well-protected borders of this Venetian-style town where streets have been turned into canals. A local girl, Diana, supported by her family, hides Jane from the authorities, who are hostile to foreigners, and takes her back home in the family’s sailing boat. Upon arrival in Costech in scene two, Diana must follow an introductory programme and pass an exam to qualify for citizenship. The citizens of Costech are embedded in a high-tech automated system supporting a luxurious lifestyle, while preventing emissions of greenhouse gasses and pollution. Foreign trade and migration are used for the common good. The meeting between both girls stimulates them to imagine alternative solutions to climate change. The session ends with a roundtable discussion on pros and cons of alternative solutions to make present-day cities climate resilient. Read more here .
