Monsters of Appalachia: A Game About Building Networks
Description:
Many people are enthusiastic about education reform, yet frequently we find ourselves shouldering the burden alone or just inside of our own orgs. We long for additional time, personnel, or resources to better address these issues. Building a cross-org, cross-sector community all moving toward the same goals can feel out of reach. Why can’t we just stop talking past one another and make the time for the same priorities? Fortunately, there are case studies about what works, as well thoroughly researched approaches to reducing the barriers. And guess what? We made a game about it. Come play it.
