About the course
The course provides knowledge of how innovative processes in interdisciplinary teams can be used to solve demand-based problems in climate change-related areas. The focus is on applying serious games - gaming beyond pure entertainment - to seek solutions to combat global climate change and promote positive changes in self-management, learning and behaviour, for example through training, competition and education.
The overall course duration is three weeks. The first week is run online (on distance) and it includes preoperational (preparatory) studies. The following two weeks are onsite at Uppsala University, in Uppsala. Teaching is highly student-centred with a focus on seminars, teamwork and individual studies. Instructors will include academic teachers, game designers, invited speakers, and representatives from the climate innovations field.
