Accommodate @ NUS Sustainability Office
Co-organised with NUS Office of Sustainability, Accommodate conducted a closed-doors game simulation at NUS on On 27/2/2019, and received a demographically diverse turn-out of varied age ranges.
Post-game Takeaways
Learning Points:
- The importance of having a collective strategy
- Some possibilities to conserve the urban places
Discussion Points:
- Advocacy work has gotten easier over the years with subtle progressive changes in the civil service atmosphere
- It is always mutually beneficial to think of the current establishment as being on the same side as you, with the same overall goal of a better society, and to work in a collaborative manner instead of the traditional confrontational concepts of activism
- Facts and research are very significant reasons to fall back on when negotiating real changes.
- The overall climate of fear and a general aversion from forming ground-up communities has waned in the past decade, and it is very encouraging how many new groups are popping up, advocating fervently for a plethora of causes
Participants also gave valuable feedback on how the workshop could be improved:
- The importance of having a collective strategy
- More possibilities for conservation of land
- Elements of public consultation in the game as the game focuses takes a wholly intra-government angle
The Accommodate team will take all feedback into account in order to deliver better Accommodate experiences to future participants.
