In the DGNB Game "Nachhaltigkeit macht Schule", you take on the role of a school principal who is competing to promote sustainability at his or her school. The aim is to implement as many sustainability measures as possible at your school, using both skill and wits. Duels, unexpected events and challenges, as well as knowledge and assessment questions, add dynamism to the game. The sustainability knowledge gained can then be applied in the real world.
For the classroom and at home
The DGNB Game is ideal for imparting knowledge in a playful way in the classroom or at home with the whole family. Players are informed about sustainable schools in an entertaining way and discover together how multifaceted sustainability aspects can be implemented in a school. The focus of the card game is to learn about different solutions and future-oriented sustainability strategies for school operations in a playful way. The reference to one's own living environment gives all players the opportunity to introduce clever ideas at their own school and thus actively help shape a sustainable everyday school life.
