new global priorities game is ready to go!...and new reflection form coming soon

[James Proctor]

Dear all, I'm pleased to share that we have finalized our global priorities card game, now called SDG Mosaic...check it out! Here's how your students will benefit:

• They'll get a chance to meet each other while learning about the Sustainable Development Goals (and, optionally, all eight EcoTypes via personae) 
• The SDGs offer them a grounded context to consider the possibility EcoTypes advances that many care, just differently
• They'll be better able to interpret their EcoTypes survey results/relevance
• They'll cultivate/reinforce teamwork and communication skills

The game includes:

• A card template you can freely print and cut into cards
• Recommended rules for in-person play (e.g., in the classroom) and online play (e.g., across multiple EcoTypes institutions)
• Two modes: SDG cards only (a recommended pre-survey activity), or SDG and personae cards (recommended after students complete the survey). Samples of each 2.5" card are attached.
• Clear instructions and example SDG Mosaic images to help students enjoy the game!

The outcome of SDG Mosaic is, as the name implies, a custom mosaic arrangement of cards each team of 4-6 participants develops, card by card. I'd love to see and share these outcomes!...please if you can, send me images or have your students upload on our question form.

I'm excited about this game, and with linking EcoTypes to the SDGs more broadly...but the game took development time away from the new, updated post-survey reflection form, which your students can complete on their own when it's ready. I hope to have the reflection form done in the next day or so!

Again, a reminder to complete the 2023-24 EcoTypes instructional use form if you plan to use EcoTypes and have not yet been in touch.

Regards,

Jim P.
