Come play the Elephant Game

Would you like to contribute to the discussion around sustainable buildings – and the materials that are used within them – AND help researchers at the University of Bath establish how they meet people’s needs?

Transition Bath is collaborating with ‘The Elephant Team’ at the University, who have organised a session at the Museum of Bath of Work on Sat 31 May, from 10 am-1 pm.

The team has created a prototype board game called Beyond Bricks and Mortar (BBM).

It’s a fun, hands-on way for people to explore what really matters in a home.

Players compete and collaborate as they design their ideal homes – first by identifying what’s important to them, then digging into the needs behind those choices, and finally selecting the materials that best meet those needs.

The BBM game has been played with several groups so far, and the feedback has been great – people find it both enjoyable and eye-opening.

This special Community Workshop kicks off with a warm welcome and a quick introduction to the research, plus how your input during the game will help shape it.

Your participation is completely anonymous, and you won’t be asked to share anything personal or sensitive. You’ll also receive a full Participant Information Sheet on the day.

It’s completely free, and younger people of 7+ are encouraged to come too, as their perspectives will be equally valued. Only 20 spaces available, so book your place now!
