Planit-Sustainability learning simulation (serious game)

Planit-Sustainability ‘shows’ how decisions affect social progress, the environment, AND the economy. It simulates local partners and their need to work together.

Planit-Sustainability has been used in partnership/team building in the public and private sector, sustainability awareness in regional programmes and Government Offices. Sefton MBC use it as part of their sustainability commitment. It has also been used in community engagement including with young people.

The learning simulation models the life of a community. Teams play the role of a local strategic partnership. The partnership need to create a sustainable community Win-win-win solutions need to be negotiated and incidents avoided. Finally, after each round, the teams are scored on sustainability indicators and public opinion. The use of technology to build partnerships is innovative and gets results such as in Gosport.
