In It Together

Janette Kim (California College of Art)

"In It Together” is a board game that explores how diverse communities around San Leandro Bay (the Estuary) can work together to build greater resilience to sea level rise. The aim of the game is to educate and spark dialog. The game illustrates how climate change will impact our neighborhoods. It explores how adaptation strategies like living levees or affordable housing can make communities resilient to challenges both immediate and long-term. As a decision- making tool, as well, it can help community members, advocates, and agencies understand each others’ goals and find creative ways to work together.
