What are the sustainable development goals of this project?
Primary sustainable development goal
Why does this project contribute to this goal?
Topics like climate change, environmental protection and species conservation are uncomfortable and often delivered with a certain heaviness. At Gaiagames, we believe that fun, emotion and motivation are super important to transfer knowledge and inspire people to think and act.
We want to continue to enrich the educational landscape with great sustainable board games and show that education and fun are not contradictory.
Our motto: Inspire instead of instruct!
This project also pays toward those goals
