72 hours of Resilience

SITUATION

As islanders in a global economy, we depend on a continuous flow of visitors, goods, and capital to maintain our way of life.

COMPLICATION

Severe weather events and geopolitical instability has the potential to cripple island economies reliant on the continuous flow of visitors, goods, and capital.

QUESTIONS

How might we create a more resilient island economy and self-sufficient community?

How might we increase the abundance of the land and sea to create food and livelihoods?

How might we come together to work, play, and celebrate our journey towards resilience?

ANSWER

The Resilience Games invites you to take part in prototyping resilient island communities in a 72 hour simulation.

In 3 days, what kind of impact can we make if we band together to help each other learn essential life skills and plan for the future?
