Society faces some pretty big challenges such as extreme price fluctuations of raw materials, questions of energy security, and climate change. Does our current focus allow us to solve these problems effectively? Maybe we’re inclined to label things too fast and think of challenges as only political, environmental, social, or economic affairs. Through the lens of materials and their consumption, IN THE LOOP illustrates how these views intersect and sets out to encourage thinking about today's challenges from a new angle.

Join us for a workshop conducted by Katie Whalen, the creator of the In the Loop design game. IN THE LOOP uses game-based learning techniques to illustrate the interconnectedness of today's society by combing different approaches to today's resource use into one broader perspective. The game raised more than EUR12,000 on Kickstarter and has been distributed in over 30 countries.
