What is Estonia like in 2121? Would you like to experience it? We created the game Estonia 2121 to travel to the future. In the game we created the events of the intervening 101 years and their consequences.
In the game players are teams working in a research station that is situating in an old school building. It is isolated from the rest of the world to revitalize the affected areas and test a new social and economic model. How to fight pollution, revitalize the ecosystem and revitalize species? How do people have to adapt with environmental changes? What could have been done differently during those 101 years to make the situation better? The aims of the game is to introduce the goals of sustainable development, to create emotional connection with topic of the game, to develop cooperation, find and implement solutions, empower young people, address environmental issues in a wider context, address ethical dilemmas, conduct tangible experiments etc.
