Ktopias are living lab ecotopes for growing gameful, joyful narratives as a coop for a season. The seeds and fruits of the project gardens are shared freely with the Creative Commons as Open Educational Resources.

We are using narrative game design formats in analog and digital mediaâaligned with the Jena Declaration and Education for Sustainable Development Goals as a Daily Practice!
