Date: April 13
Time: 17:00 - 20:00
Location: The Old Library at the Clockhouse
In this Otherwise workshop you will play Le Grand Jeu, an award‑winning role play + board game that blends scenario planning, chance, randomisation and classic imagination.
During the game you will:
• Learn to design system change interventions in a playful, low‑risk environment.
• Imagine how alternative currencies and value‑exchange systems can shape behaviour.
• Practice multi‑stakeholder negotiation and strategy around future societal and ecological scenarios
• Observe the emergence of collective intelligence as players co‑create pathways for transition.
An example: one round may ask you to redesign a campus or bioregion’s economy using alternative currencies, while other players represent institutions, citizens, and more-than-human actors negotiating trade‑offs.
There will be soup and tea after the game!
