Democracy vs. Sustainability
January 2022
Step into the shoes of a small town’s Mayor and work your way up to the federal office. Make sustainable decisions for the benefit of the citizens. Should a food waste app be mandatory or voluntary? Should the majority of voters out rule the minorities? Are political processes even compatible with sustainability? This you will learn in our gamification video.

Award Certificate
Winner of MEDEA Awards 2022
A 50-person jury crowned “Democracy vs. Sustainability” as the winner of the MEDEA Award 2022, an international competition supported by the EU Commission. The bronze statuette had a safe trip from Belgium to Bern, where it’s now throning in our office. It shows us that there is a lot of potential in the connection between gaming, video and learning. We can’t wait to be going that path even further.
