"The Game is an interactive tool for learning skills needed to get a project done. It provides time and space to collectively work as a community on projects.  The Community Game was a great experience for me to get more involved in both existing and future projects. I learned a lot and enjoyed it a lot.”
Alex - Takaka Hemp Collective

“It’s a 2 & ½ day training course of brainstorming and project management.   It deals with how to manage a project in an ethical and collaborative way. This has been a great opportunity for me to meet the local community and tell my story about the Alternatiba Festival and to share my experience and the tools to gte this project started in this community. Thank you so much!”

“A weekend where you learn skills and find beneficial links between community projects and people. Great opportunity to find out, link with and collaborate with various initiatives.”
Petra - Harvest Fest/Kai Fest

”Focuses attention on how to create collaborative teams for social change. Social Change is not a “money making” venture, which means that you are reliant on volunteers. How do you actually get people on board with your ideas? What information do they need to know to become excited about your project? What do you need? What is the problem that you want to address and why? The Community Game helps to a sort out the details by providing a high-level framework.”
Craig - Biochar Project

“It’s a way of building and opening doors for a community’s hopes and wishes.”  I found this inspiring how a small group can start a to make a difference, share and expand existing projects.”
