Descripción

This no-tech game is made possible by the support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme, which is being funded by the European Union (EU) with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD).Social learning is essential for effective community-led conservation and development as it enables people to prioritize both individual and collective strategies and, most importantly, develops the social cohesion they need to work together, to solve their common problems.Experience from developing and playing these games with many communities confirms our belief that games that are fun to play, have few rules, rely on learning by doing, and enable failure, provoke discussion and collaborative problem solving are essential for adaptive social learning.
