Workshops presented by Ecogames

Decorating the Doughnut connects issues that are often explored separately: climate, biodiversity, food, mobility, digital technology, water and health. Participants explore cards drawn from several workshops and place them on a Doughnut-shaped board. Inspired by Kate Raworth’s model, it relates human needs, the ways we meet them and planetary boundaries. The experience offers an introduction to these workshops or a chance to put existing knowledge into perspective. It helps participants build a more systemic picture of socio-ecological issues and identify which workshops to explore next, creating a starting point for a personal learning pathway.

Critical AI Collage offers a collective exploration of artificial intelligence through a card-based workshop. Participants connect visible uses with the infrastructure, data, design choices and power relationships behind them. The format creates an accessible setting for comparing perspectives and examining social and ecological impacts. It also brings promises of automation and possible alternatives into the discussion. The workshop helps participants identify questions to investigate before adopting or deploying AI systems, rather than treating these choices as technical inevitabilities. It supports the development of a shared, critical understanding grounded in the issues people encounter in practice.

New Narratives invites participants to explore the stories that shape their imagination and influence their behaviour. Through discussion, they step back from familiar representations and create alternative ways to picture and describe the future together. The workshop brings emotion and creativity into the conversation to imagine more desirable futures and strengthen the desire to act. It complements formats focused on understanding issues by examining how people make sense of transition. This shared experience offers a starting point for communicating new narratives and continuing the reflection in everyday life or within an organization.

Digital Collage explores the environmental impacts of digital equipment, infrastructure and everyday uses. Using cards about impacts and good practices, participants build a shared understanding of the issues and connect familiar activities with the resources they require. The workshop draws on scientific and institutional sources to make complex questions accessible. It also opens discussion about emerging uses, including artificial intelligence, and the choices available to individuals and organizations. Participants consider practical ways to change their habits and equipment decisions. The collaborative format supports informed discussion and identifies pathways toward more responsible digital practices.

Beyond the workshops already presented in the catalogue, Ecojeux can help identify and program formats suited to a particular request. These may include less common workshops, youth versions, local adaptations or programming developed with a partner venue. The starting point is the audience, the territory and the objective people want to explore. This entry helps clarify the need before choosing a format and the people to support it. Duration, delivery options and conditions depend on the proposal selected. It opens a conversation about building an experience that fits your context and the questions you bring.
