The Adaptation Game (TAG Canning – Community come and try event)

What is The Adaptation Game?

The Adaptation Game, also known as TAG, is a table-top game that shows what the future impacts of climate change might look like in the local Canning area. You create story lines relevant to yourself and your family, that reflect climate change impacts.

This allows you to think about what you already do to reduce the impact of climate change in your life, while also considering other actions that you could look at down the track.

By playing TAG, you are gaining awareness about what climate change will look like locally, and can help your family and community to reduce the effects of climate change into the future.

If you would like to know more about TAG, watch this video from Merri-bek City Council game participants to hear about their experience.

What are we doing:

We are organising a Come and Try event to give you the opportunity to have a go and see what TAG is all about. This event will be a shortened TAG experience, designed to create awareness and interest in the community.
