Step-by-step guide on how to run the activity:
1. Preparation: Position all the cards next to the playing board and group them
2. Facilitation (all players are playing the game standing up)
Ask one player to randomly draw one challenge card and place the challenge card on the top of the playing board, in its designated space. Place the corresponding consequence cards on the playing board, in their designated space.
3. Ask other participants to draw 2 stakeholder cards and 3 emotion cards and place them on the playing board (on the town).
4. Ask players to make a story with these cards.
The following questions should be answered:
How does the urban challenge affect the life of these stakeholders?
Ask players to be as creative as possible and to develop individual stories of these stakeholders.
Players should have a clear idea on what is the urban challenge and how it is affecting residents of the town.
5. Distribute individual cards to each player:
- 3 tools & methods cards
- 2 emotions
- 2 stakeholders
6. Each player can incorporate in the story 1 stakeholder with a corresponding emotion card, 1 tools and methods cards and picks 1 Urban Living Lab Staff card. The players should also try to assign 1 Urban Living Lab External role to a chosen stakeholder.
Note: players should build up on the story
7. Discussion (all players can sit down next to the table): NBS
Ask one player to read out loud Type 1 NBS definition and corresponding cards, another player to read out loud Type 2 NBS definition and corresponding cards and a third player to read out loud Type 3 NBS definition and corresponding cards
Ask the group to choose maximum one NBS from each type to implement in the city
8. Discussion: Benefits
Ask each player to read out one category of benefit cards.
The players should discuss which benefits can arise from the proposed scenario of implementing NBS due to co-creation
9. Conclusion
Conclude the session with “I like, I wish, What if” questionnaire
