Background
With a special focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and in collaboration with Økolariet, the designers have created multiple interactive play experiences to engage and educate the public during outreach programs.
Promoting sustainability through interactive experiences
They have used play to sensitize a cross generational audience and evoke feelings of empathy and self-reflection. For one, a weighing scale with climate-friendly habits such as taking public transport, and hang-drying clothes placed on one side, while climate-unfriendly habits like driving to work, and using a dryer placed on the other. The weight of each habit reflects its climate impact. Secondly an interactive jungle soundscape that showcases the beauty of biodiversity and the impact of human activities on nature. And lastly, SDGs turned into infinity cubes, a new way of unfolding SDGs.
