We created a board-game that teaches

We aim through CUiB to improve the quality of learning for primary-school children and their educational environment, and to foster a far-reaching understanding and sensitivity towards global concerns.

Learning about migrants

CUiB shows the journey of 6 species of migrant birds, each with different abilities.
It uses the methaphor of migrant birds in order to invite children to regard the migration of people to be just as normal as the migration of birds.

Learning about global warming

The three variants of the game on three different boards (2015, 2065, 2165) give a time perspective on the availability of resources on earth and raise awareness with respect to the future effects of global warming.

Raising awareness

The “basic needs” cards underline the vital importance of food, clean-water and health, while showing the global unequal access to these basic resources.
The “action” cards raise awareness on the manner in which human actions can change natural environments, for better (building of artificial nests, cleaning of habitats) or for worse (overexploitation of forests or pollution).

Game design

We reflected the environmental dimension also in the production process of the game. It was largely produced from recycled materials, only wood and recycled paper being used. For printing there were used only inks that are free of mineral oils.
We are looking for further solutions to use wood-free paper, such as papermilk .
