Gaming for Sustainable Development: a student SDG summit to understand the role of politics, economics and culture in tackling sustainability challenges

There are many exciting ways to learn about sustainability, so we thought we would attempt a rather different episode of the Meliora podcast.The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Summit is a two-hour class as part of the UOSM2043 Global Sustainability Challenges module at the University of Southampton where students work in groups to represent different parts of the world and reach agreement on what SDGs should be prioritised at an international level.  I could go into lots of waffly detail about the summit preparation, operation, negotiation, voting and the pedagogies behind this learning tool, but it's a far better idea to just listen to the episode and enjoy......Episode Host: Prof Simon Kemp, USOM2043 Module Lead and Deputy Director of the Sustainability & Resilience Institute , University of SouthamptonEpisode Guests: The UOSM2043 students, Alex Ayerst, Rebecca CollinsEpisode Producer: Alex AyerstEpisode Comms: Hannah ParishEpisode Editor (who worked for 10 hours to somehow stitch all of the 2 hours of chaos together): Libby KaleEngage with us on Instagram: @MelioraPodcast
