Join 'My Sustainable Living Challenge' in its 2024 Edition and discover a fun and engaging online platform designed to help students learn about sustainability.
‘My Sustainable Living Challenge’ is an online gamified learning platform that provides a six-week interactive journey, offering valuable knowledge on the key sectors of sustainable living such as food, housing, and transportation. It is a journey in an immersive environment where a person can learn about sustainability, system change, the impact of your lifestyle, how to make better choices – in a FUN, interactive setting.
Participants answer curated questions and engage in sustainable actions. Progress is tracked through the ‘treemagotchi’. For every question answered correctly and action that is shared, participants see how their tree grow and flourish, ‘nurtured’ by their intention to change.
The platform is globally accessible and available in four languages: English, Spanish, French and Russian.
The 2024 Edition invites schools, organizations and communities to create teams and represent their campuses. Progress and achievements will be shared with teammates, the other contestants and through social media creating a sense of community and inspiring others to also take action.
Over the course of six weeks, teams will compete with each other, earning points for their progress and innovation. Participants will be motivated to take actions that contribute to a more sustainable future, and encouraged to leverage their social media presence to increase the reach of their sustainable practices.
The team with the most points earned will be announced as the champions of the challenge.
When: The 2024 Global Edition of ‘My Sustainable Living Challenge’ will launch on World Environment Day (5 June) with a webinar presenting the Challenge.
The game will run for 6 weeks starting on 19 August.
