- Board game activity for the event-goers
To engage participants in a more interactive and experiential way, we adapted
The Game of Life into a board game that reflects the real-life landscape of youth climate activism in Indonesia. In this version, players take on the role of young activists trying to pursue a climate or environmental agenda.
Along the way, they encounter various enabling and impeding factors, some predictable, others based purely on chance, that influence their journey. The gameplay mirrors key findings from PUSKAPA’s research: the randomness of opportunities, the lack of structural support, and the barriers that prevent youth from transitioning from interest to meaningful action.
By the end of the game, we hope players will gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities young people face in climate activism. More importantly, we hope it sparks enough curiosity for them to explore the full research report and reflect on how these challenges can be addressed.
