Jogada! (Eco)anxiety to Collective Action

(This description is fully written by human beings :))

Do you feel overwhelmed or hopeless about the climate crisis? 🤔

      Do you have lots of ideas swimming around in your head about how to make change, but don’t want to do it alone?

          Are you yearning to meet new people who also want to take action, but don’t know where to start? 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️

                Or, do you just want to get out of the house and try something new? 🤸🏼‍♀️

If so, you’re in the right spot! 🤗

Join us on Monday, November 30th for an evening full of laughing, co-creating, new connections, and taking action together through a collaborative game!

This game is hopeful, uncertain, chaotic, impulsive, connecting, fun, and exciting. If you are curious, we are warmly inviting you to take part!

You’ll make connections with other motivated people and hopefully leave feeling more capable of taking action to make change right around you – while having some fun in the process! 🎲

Just a few minutes from Hardbrücke Bahnhof at the Zurich Knowledge Center for Sustainable Development (ZKSD).

Doors are open from 18:00, and we will start at 18:15. The event officially ends at 20:45.

This event is created and hosted by Jogada Education, a Zurich-based non-profit association recently founded by three ZHAW alumni focused on providing play-based experiences for collective action.

What to expect?

During the game and surrounding workshop, players will interact with each other in small groups. We will start with gentle icebreakers to warm up and get comfortable with each other. You will not be put on the spot unless you choose to.

About the Game

• The game creates space for co-dreaming and brainstorming.

• While it isn't required, it also involves dexterity-based mechanics.

• During the main game portion, many people will be talking, and it may get loud. There may also be some stressful moments that the group goes through together. There will also be space for calm moments where you can recover from the chaos. You will be able to take your time in silence, and if you wish, you can be alone with minimal external stimuli.

The event aims to be neurodivergent friendly. We are more than happy to try to meet your needs as our capacity allows us, and are happy to receive feedback.

Language:

The workshop and game materials are in English.

Food:

There will be some snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. If you would like anything else, please feel free to bring it with you.

Workshop Space:

There are chairs, cushions, and a sofa. Together, we will create the most comfortable environment possible.

If the cost of the event would prevent you from joining, please reach out to us via email or a call. If you have any comments or questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to seeing you there!

Note: We wish to create a safe environment for all of the participants. There will be no tolerance for any discriminatory behaviour or violence of any kind.

Wheelchair Accessibility: There are concrete steps at the entrance of the building that are not wheelchair accessible. However, inside the building there are elevators.

Who is Jogada Education?

Action lies at the core of change for a better future for all. Without hope and collective efficacy, action is not possible. Jogada Education focuses on transforming barriers such as eco-anxiety and hopelessness towards collective action.

We combine research-backed methods with play-based education to develop tools, workshops, and ready-to-use materials. We work in parallel with Transformative ESD (BNE 3 in German). Our goal is to foster transformation by empowering people, reaching schools, universities, NGOs, and companies.
