Y-Adapt: Participatory Game Guidance
Y-Adapt is a youth engagement curriculum, developed by the RC Climate Centre that helps young people to both understand climate change and to take practical action to adapt in their community.
Y-Adapt Youth-Led Action Phase!
A 6 week period for youth to implement their Y-Adapt adaptation action plan in their community. They keep a weekly photo-caption diary to track their progress.
Specialist Session: Experience the Environment
An ecosystem simulation game and a scavenger hunt to explain ecosystem services ending with a game to emphasise the role a well-managed environment plays in climate change adaptation.
Session 4: See the System
A card game to see how people, places and things (resources) fit into systems, followed by an activity to systematically brainstorm and prioritise community resources.
Session 5: Act to Adapt
A giant board game that gets youth to prioritise resources in their community which are vulnerable to extreme weather. Youth negotiate to take individual or collective actions to adapt resources.
Session 6: Choose your challenge
An activity in which youth create community adaptation plans, a reality role-play competition to act out challenges and solutions and an exercise to choose an adaptation to implement in real life.
