One of their series is called Transition Games. These are powerful tools for changing hearts and minds toward environmental sustainability, because players are active in a group as they talk to each other and interact with the game environment. They told us that it can be difficult for people to understand sustainability initiatives and feel they can make a difference; as often a leaflet or lecture is not enough. The Transition Games can equip people with an understanding that enables them to engage meaningfully in regenerative and sustainable activities. They approached us for a grant to produce 12 copies of their locally based Transition Game on pollinators. In May 2024 they held a game-design session at RSPB Leighton Moss to draft the Pollinator Game, which then went through several further iterations and testing, ending up as a version of the game that they wanted to produce for Bolton-le-Sands school and library, Lune Valley Beekeepers, Lancaster Beekeepers, and other branches of the Lancashire and North West Beekeepers’ Association. The grant covered the costs for the physical materials and production of the game, including the card and colour printing for the game board and scenario cards, wood cutting for the game tokens, and printing and logo design for the game box, assembly and promotion through hosting game sessions.
