At the Nature Meets Play - conference, international specialists in serious games, education and environmental sustainability will present talks and sessions on nature-based solutions and on designing and implementing game-based approaches in environmental education.

The seven international speakers will address a wide range of topics in their 30-minute presentations regarding the conception, implementation and use of serious games and gamification in higher education in relation to nature-based solutions for our societies.

The lecturers:
Elín Carstensdóttir - Designing Serious Games - Haskolinn I Reykjavik EHF

Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen (Serious Games Interactive) - Developing seven serious games on climate change and the patterns that emerged

The European consortium BuildAsNature, consisting of partners from Iceland, Estonia, Greece, Germany and Portugal, will also present a playable prototype of the Serious Game BuildAsNature. This will be made available free of charge to universities and other interested groups in the European Union starting in September 2026.

In BaN, we are developing a digital learning experience to enhance multidisciplinary digital skills. The core of this project is to create a serious game for university students to explore and apply nature-based solutions in a simulated environment.

The event is for educators, researchers, practitioners and students interested in serious games, sustainability, or nature-based solutions in education.

Join us at the intersection of learning, play and sustainable futures.
