After hearing about it for several years, I loved having the opportunity to learn more about Climatopia yesterday directly from some of its creators at the North Carolina Campus Engagement #NCPACE24 at Guilford College. Climatopia is an innovative fabric game and resource backpack designed to help people of all ages plan for, face and recover from climate change-enhanced natural disasters, developed collaboratively by Rachel Willis and several cohorts of students with various forms of support from APPLES Service-Learning, the Carolina Center for Public Service and a number of other university collaborators and community partners. Check it out at https://lnkd.in/e8n_xvfq, and consider whether there may be opportunities to bring it to your own communities. Thanks to Rachel, Sydney Van Buren, Halle Evans, Gabrille Augier, @Hannah Garner, and Peyton Wojcik for doing and sharing this work!
