Play-testing an innovative game of the Red Cross to communicate climate risk
AOPP invites you to help play test a game developed by the International Federation of the Red Cross. Margot Curl of the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre will deliver a short lecture on using games to communicate climate risk. She will then lead the group to play test and get feedback on a new game at an advanced stage of development. Play testing provides an invaluable opportunity to improve on the games used within the Red Cross Red Crescent movement to communicate complex ideas affecting the humanitarian sector in a fun and engaging way. Your participation is much appreciated!
