The project brings together the educational game CONNECTED and a practical methodology that help young people and communities design regenerative solutions to real-life challenges.
CONNECTED is a cooperative educational board game for 4–12 players (12+) that explores how communities function as living systems. Through a shared crisis scenario, players collaborate across permaculture zones, combine tools and skills, and design collective solutions.
The game encourages systemic thinking, cooperation and reflective dialogue, offering an engaging entry point into regenerative community learning.
The methodology combines Design Thinking and social permaculture into a practical framework for working with young people and communities. It offers clear phases and tools that help participants move from observation and problem definition to experimentation and shared action.
Rooted in permaculture ethics and systems thinking, the process strengthens cooperation, critical reflection and the capacity to design regenerative solutions to real-world challenges.
This project was developed through international collaboration within the Erasmus+ programme. It brings together organizations working in youth education, social permaculture and community development, with the shared goal of making regenerative learning accessible and practical.
By combining game-based learning and a structured methodology, the project supports young people and facilitators in strengthening cooperation, systems thinking and community resilience.
